Example: Internal and Cross-Funds Center Authorizations

The following hierarchies are given and you want to use authorizations to control budget allocation at local level:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Example 1

You authorize the manager of center C1 to maintain:

Internal funds center authorization group (authorization object F_FICA_SIG) for C1

Cross-funds center authorization (authorization object F_FICA_SEG) for C1.1 and C1.2

The manager of center C1 thus has full authority over budget allocation within his or her center. He or she can allocate budget to the top commitment item (A) in the subordinate centers C1.1 and C1.2, but has no influence on the distribution to A.1 and A.2.

Example 2

You authorize the manager of center C1.1 to maintain:

Internal funds center authorization group (authorization object F_FICA_SIG) for C1.1

Cross-funds center authorization group (authorization object F_FICA_SEG) for C1.1.1 and C1.1.2

The manager of C1.2 receives authorizations for his responsibility area in the same way as the manager of C1.1.
