Funding Limits 

Use

You use this function to ensure that billing is only possible within defined limits by specifying the maximum amount that can be invoiced at header and item level.

You have received a contract from a customer with a total allocatable budget of USD 500,000. However, the contract runs over several years and a maximum of USD 250,000 may be spent in the first year.

Integration

Funding limits are implemented using the standard condition technique. For more information on how this works, see Pricing and Conditions.

Prerequisites

·        You have created and configured the limit condition type ACRL in Customizing for Sales and Distribution by choosing Basic Functions → Pricing → Pricing Control → Define Condition Types. Refer to the SAP Reference IMG.

·        You have activated the ACRL condition for the sales document type CBWV in Customizing for Sales by choosing Sales Documents → Advanced Order Processing and Billing  → Maintain Order Type.

Activities

You specify the funding limits associated with the sales document on the Header Limits and Item Fund Limits tab pages, as well as when they are valid. Then, during resource-related billing, the system checks that billable amounts do not exceed either the specified header or item limits, taking already-billed values into consideration. For more information on what happens when funding limits are exceeded, see Enhanced Resource-Related Billing.

The Item Billed Values tab page shows you the billing history of each item.
