Funded Program 
Definition
Funded programs are programs within Funds Management (FM) with an operational purpose and defined time frame. They can range from simple activities to complex projects and can cross your organization’s fiscal years, funding sources, and organizational units. Examples would include things like the following:
Facility modernization
Financial system replacement
Park beautification
Street and highway safety
Funded programs enable you to record budget, control postings, and monitor the performance of internal projects.
Use
Note
The funded program uses much of the functionality of the Business Data Toolset (BDT). If you want to customize the funded program master data, you should be familiar with the BDT.
For detailed information on this, see the Business Data Toolset documentation.
Funded programs are used mainly as FM account assignment elements, in the same way as funds, funds centers, commitment items, and functional areas are. Budget can be entered for them and monitored in them. You can enter the funded program directly in budgeting, but it can only be used with the new Budget Control System (BCS), not the conventional budgeting function.
When you are using the funded program in integrated postings, it is not possible to enter the funded program directly. It must be derived, using rules specified in the FM derivation tool. Account Assignment Derivation contains a detailed description of the steps involved in creating derivations.
Recommendation
While you can use any operative element as the source for deriving funded programs, we strongly recommend that you use only WBS elements, orders, or networks.
Integration
If active, the funded program is displayed in Sales and Distribution (SD) orders, Plant Maintenance (PM) orders, and in networks or network activities. It is not displayed in purchase requisitions, purchase orders, goods receipts, or any other documents.
