    This allows you to define basic settings for funds of this type. You do this under   Funds Management   Funds Plans and Funds   Define Fund Types  .

    This allows you to limit which fund types are available for a specific funds plan and enables you to create groupings of fund types. You do this under   Funds Management   Funds Plans and Funds   Define Funds Plan Types  .

  4. Define expense types.

    This allows you to categorize your spending and is mainly required for SAP ERP integration and accounting purposes. You do this under   Funds Management   Funds Plans and Funds   Define Expense Types  .

  5. Assign an expense type to a fund type.

    This allows you to group which expense type makes the most sense for a specific fund type. You do this under   Funds Management   Funds Plans and Funds   Assign Expense Types to Fund Types  .

      2. Define Availability Control (AVC) Tolerance Profiles

      3. Define Availability Control (AVC) Authorization Levels

    2. If you want to set up an approval process for your budget, you do this under   Funds Management   Approvals   Define Approver Groups and Thresholds  .

    3. If you are using the budget transfer process, you need to set up the core fund determination under   Funds Management   Fund Determination   and the fund determination for budget posting under   Funds Management   Budget Postings   Fund Determination   Assign Fund Determination Profiles  .

    4. For the Trade Promotion Management (TPM) business scenario, you must set up fund determination under   Funds Management   Fund Determination  . This is because there is automatic fund determination in TPM.
