Funding Limits
Use
You use this function to ensure that billing is only possible within defined limits by specifying the maximum amount that can be invoiced at header and item level.
Example
You have received a contract from a customer with a total allocatable budget of USD 500,000. However, the contract runs over several years and a maximum of USD 250,000 may be spent in the first year.
Integration
Funding limits are implemented using the standard condition technique. For more information on how this works, see Pricing and Conditions .

Activities
You specify the funding limits associated with the sales document on the

tab pages, as well as when they are valid. Then, during resource-related billing, the system checks that billable amounts do not exceed either the specified header or item limits, taking already-billed values into consideration. For more information on what happens when funding limits are exceeded, see
Enhanced Resource-Related Billing
.

The

tab page shows you the billing history of each item.
