Use

To obtain an overview of all RIB-relevant application data, you can use the RIB monitor (transaction FMRBMON01) to display of the corresponding RIB data for all or part of the specific RIB objects or RIB rules based on revenue cover groups defined in your system. This includes the contributing and receiving addresses attached to them, organized in a hierarchical list. All application data relevant to the RIB process is displayed for each RIB rule (RIB object or revenue cover group), budget address and posting address:

  • the revenue budget, used as a reference value for RIB rules with relative thresholds

  • the posted revenue amount

  • the amount transferred by the RIB process (= total amount of expenditure budget distributed by RIB documents)

  • the amount still available for transfer

  • the revenue shortfall triggering a transfer (that is, the revenue amount which is still missing on the RIB object before a transfer is permitted).

The RIB calculation formula is directly accessible from any displayed RIB rule or RIB object. Additionally, for each budget address, the budget memo template is displayed. The budget memo long text can be displayed in a dialog box via a button. No Customizing activity is required.

Using the RIB Monitor with RIB Rules with Call Procedure

You can use the Overview of Values for Automatic Cover Groups (transaction FMCEMON01) to view automatic cover groups with contributing RIB rules with call procedure. From there, you can select an individual contributing RIB rule and navigate either to the definition of the RIB rule or to the RIB Monitor.

Within the RIB monitor, the RIB procedure column allows you to distinguish RIB rules with distribution procedure from those with call procedure. For those defined with call procedure, the assigned automatic cover groups are displayed as sub-nodes of the RIB rules.

You can navigate from the RIB monitor to the cover group monitor to view AVC data for a selected automatic cover group.

Activities

You select RIB rules:

  • Via unrestricted selection, or

  • By specifying the desired type of account assignment (RIB objects; budget or posting addresses) or

  • By selecting cover groups (if you have activated cover eligibility). Such cover groups may be automatic cover groups (only for RIB rules with call procedure), in which case you must specify Automatic Cover Groups ; or revenue cover groups, in which case you must specify the type RIB Rules to select RIB rules based on RIB objects or on revenue cover groups.

Under Layout Options , you can select:

  • Complete view: All contributor and budget receiver account assignments are output.

  • Revenue side view: only the contributor nodes are expanded on the list screen.

  • Expenditure side view: only the receiver nodes are expanded.

Under Filtering Options , you can further restrict the selection:

  • You can select a RIB object or revenue cover group and click Display RIB Rule . The system then displays the corresponding RIB rule. From there you can also access the RIB calculation formula.
  • If the RIB rule is based on a revenue cover group, you can select the revenue cover group and click Display cover group. The system then displays the definition of the revenue cover group.
  • For a RIB rule with call procedure, you can select an automatic cover group to which this RIB rule contributes and click Display AVC Data. The system then navigates to the cover group monitor and displays the availability control data for this automatic cover group.
