The solution offers the following features:
Creation/change of precommitments/forecast of revenue
Grant payments and repayments are created as budget precommitments or forecasts of revenue for each application in FM. This optional process, defined on a program level, ensures that the defined grant budget for a program is not exceeded during the application phase.
Creation/change of commitments/forecast of revenue documents
Grant payments and repayments are created as budget commitments or forecast of revenue for each agreement in FM. This optional process, defined on a program level, ensures that the defined grant budget for a program is not exceeded during the agreement phase.
Support for funding from multiple sources
Use this feature to define various funding sources that, in turn, define the percentage distribution of funds and the relevant account assignments. This makes it easier to track how much various funding partners contributed and to what.
Automatic creation of funded programs based on CRM programs
This feature automates the required creation in FM or FI of an account assignment element equivalent to the CRM grantor program.
Creation/change of open items in Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR)
While in SAP CRM, the contractual obligations to the grant agreement are defined and the final repayment and payments are created in AP/AR as open items. Integration also provides delta-handling. If an agreement is amended, adjustment postings are created.
Notification of cleared item/open item creation to CRM
Once an open item is created or changed, or a cleared item is created or changed in AP/AR, the information is sent back to SAP CRM and is available for display in the agreement or claim.
