Revenues Increasing Budget
Description
From Release 3.0E, you can restrict the use of additional revenues to particular expenditures. This means, in effect, that you are increasing the existing budget by the amount of the additional revenues but that the additional funds can only be used for particular purposes.
To this end, go to the Commitment Accounting implementation guide and define the following for each FM area:
- funds center (residual revemie funds center)
The revenues which are not to remain in the funds centers to which revenues have been posted flow into this funds center.
- an expenditure item whose budget can be increased by additional revenues
CAUTION
You can use this functionality for test purposes only in 3.0E. It will not be released until 3.0F.
Prerequisite:
- You must create a special expenditure item whose budget can be increased by additional revenues. This commtiment item must have the following characteristics:
- it must be an account assignment item
- it must have financial transaction 30
- it must have item category 3
- it can only be used for the purpose described above - meaning that you must not post to it or enter a budget for it
- it must not be linked with a commitment item hierarchy
- You flag all funds centers for which the additional revenues should have a budget-increasing effect.
Change system parameters in customizing
