Call Procedures with Revenue Cover Pool 
Use
This function provides a different test procedure for the Call Procedure . Revenue cover pools group together a number of revenues FM account assignments.
When the program calculates the additional revenues increasing the budget, it takes into consideration all of the revenues FM account assignments in the revenues cover pool – irrespective of the revenues FM account assignments in which the revenues appear. This simplifies the rule maintenance as an expenditures FM account assignment can obtain funds from several revenues FM account assignments and only one rule must be maintained.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for the call procedure Call Procedure apply.
Features
Creating Revenue Cover Pools
Revenue cover pools are processed in the same transaction as expenditures cover pools. In contrast to expenditure cover pools however, the following restrictions apply:
No assignment of characteristic groups to a revenue cover pool and of grouping characteristics to its members.
When processing a cover pool, it is not possible to assign a budget category to individual members. For revenue cover pools, assignments to budget categories must occur with the rule maintenance for revenues increasing the budget.
No authorization indicator for members of the revenue cover pool. This means that you cannot define an FM account assignment to be entitled to cover but not subject to cover.
No indicator Warning. This means that the program always issues an error message for budget deficits, so postings in this case are not possible.
Only memo type 11 – automated cover pool – possible.
Rule Maintenance on Revenue Cover Pools
The rule maintenance for revenues increasing the budget occurs in a separate transaction: You can create rules for individual revenues FM account assignments as well as rules for revenue cover pools.
Check Posting Logic
If an expenditures FM account assignment that has been assigned to a revenue cover pool is posted with one amount and it exceeds its available budget, the program checks whether the available additional revenue of the assigned revenue cover pool is sufficient. If so, the individual participants of the revenue cover pool are debited with the respective cross assignments. The user has no way of influencing the order of debits.
For budget postings from a revenues to an expenditures FM account assignment, the revenue cover pool only works with automated procedures. The program checks against the available additional revenue of the revenue cover pool as well as against the available revenues of the individual revenues FM account assignments. This means that there is no allocation of transfer amounts to the different members of the revenues cover pool. This prevents the "detour" of the revenues cover pool posting more funds away from an individual revenues FM account assignment than are actually available.
