The solution offers the following features:
The new function automatically creates budget validity periods for yearly time slices. The first time slice starts with the grant "valid from" date and ends after 12 months. The next time slice starts at the grant "valid from" date plus one year.
The subtractive cost sharing method relates to how cost sharing is calculated in the budgeting workbench and considers how cost sharing relates to the total budget, meaning both external and internal funds, instead of external funds only.
Indirect cost (IDC) expense and recovery posting is based on IDC relevant postings to the grant’s postings to external and internal funds. This IDC method is used in conjunction with the subtractive cost sharing method. IDC caps are still used to determine the maximum reimbursement by the sponsor.
The system now evaluates the grant’s billable and revenue postings to determine whether an accrued or deferred revenue posting is needed based on the grant’s financial disposition The calculation can be based on resource-related billing (RRB) accruals or cash-based billing methods.
A new BAdI, GM_CURRENCY_CONVERSION, allows additional flexibility in revaluing GM postings based on the sponsor’s currency.
Archiving strategies have been introduced for Grants Management master data and budgeting documents, expired grants and unused budget documents. The archiving feature enables you to reduce the number of grants and budget documents stored in your system.
