Carrying Forward Financing Details 

Use

When you carry forward financing, you copy the current financing details of persons and positions from the current financial year to the next financial year.

Prerequisites

You must already have carried forward the budget hierarchy from the current financial year to the new financial year (see also: Carrying Forward a Budget Hierarchy).

You must already have carried forward the rules of your current overall budget from the current financial year to the new financial year (see also: Carrying Forward Rules Used in Budgets).

The overall budget of the new financial year must also have the budget status Released or Released provisionally.

You should make sure that you have finished your budget planning before you change the status of the new overall budget to Released or Released provisionally since you cannot make any further changes to an overall budget with either of these statuses.
