Business function requiring activation in addition

Enterprise Extensions Financials Extensions (EA-FIN) and Public Services (EA-PS)

You can use this business function to integrate the processing of real estate contracts with functions of the Funds Management component.

Integration

Using the functions of this business function, when you create a real estate contract in the Flexible Real Estate Management component, the system generates an earmarked funds document in the Funds Management component.

Prerequisites

You activated this business function.

You activated the Enterprise Extensions Financials Extensions (EA-FIN) and Public Services (EA-PS)

Features

This business function provides you with the following functions:

  • You can subject real estate contracts to an approval process. This process involves both the person who created or changed the real estate contract and the responsible person in Funds Management.

  • The system can automatically generate the needed documents depending on the type of real estate contract. For vendor contracts, it generates documents of the funds commitment type; whereas for customer contracts, the system generates documents of the forecast of revenue type. In both cases, these documents are generated in the Funds Management component.

  • In a subsequent process, these earmarked funds can then gradually be reduced by successive periodic postings.
