Use

In the detail screen for creating and changing RIB rules, you can enter specific information for each RIB rule.

On the left side, you can see the FM account assignments that represent revenues available for the Revenues Increasing the Budget (RIB) process, the Contributing Addresses .

On the right side, you can enter specific data to control the handling of the RIB process, in the sections Definitions and Surplus/Receiving Budget Addresses .

Prerequisites

For prerequisites, see Process Single RIB Rule .

Procedure

Maintain the fields on the right side of the detail screen as follows:

Activation status: Specify whether the RIB rule is currently active, frozen, or inactive.

Filter profile to specify the type of FM posting records (actuals or commitments) that become relevant for RIB.

The RIB calculation formula to be used.

The message typeto be used for manual transfers, which tells the system how to react if a RIB document is posted that transfers more budget than available from a RIB rule.

Budget memo templates to be used for RIB rules.For each RIB rule, you can assign up to two different text templates, corresponding to the role that a budget address assumes in the RIB rule (contributing revenue address or receiving expenditure address).

If in Customizing you specify that budget memos are mandatory, you must first define text templates of the text category BMRB (Budget Memos for Revenues Increasing the Budget) in Customizing and assign these templates to a RIB rule.

The RIB procedure: You can choose between a totals-based distribution procedure (default selection) and the call procedure. You can only use the call procedure if have activated cover eligibility for your organization and if you have also activated the RIB call procedure in Customizing.

Indicator specifying whether to use surplus/residual amounts (only available for RIB rules with distribution procedure): If revenues exceeding the upper limit increase the budget of an assigned surplus budget address, you must specify a surplus budget address for these revenues in the section directly below.

If you have defined a RIB rule with call procedure, then you assign an automatic cover group to which this RIB rule will contribute for availability control checks. Please note that you can only assign one automatic cover group for each availability control ledger. After assigning an automatic cover group, the program will display all receiving budget addresses of the automatic cover group (that is, addresses with the roles “Sender & Receiver” or “Only Receiver”). Other members of the cover group, which also contribute to the cover group like the present RIB rule, are not displayed.

Receiving budget addresses: If your RIB rule uses the distribution procedure, then you must assign at least one expenditure budget address to which the budget is to be distributed. You can assign more than one receiving address, but the percentages used for the mass increase in transaction FMMPRBB must total 100%. If you use a RIB rule with call procedure, the entry of receiving budget addresses is optional. But if you plan to create budget documents with process “Revenues Increasing the Budget”, either manually in transaction FMBB or automatically in transaction FMMPCEBAL, then it is strongly recommended to add all receiving budget addresses from the assigned automatic cover group as receiving budget addresses here. To do this, you can use the Take over from cover group button

Save the RIB rule.

Result

The new RIB rules are now activated and can be used for manual RIB transfers in the Budgeting Workbench.In addition, RIB rules with distribution procedure can be used in mass distribution (see http://aiokeh.wdf.sap.corp:50000/SAPIKS2/contentShow.sap?_CLASS=IWB_EXTHLP&TMP_IWB_TASK=PREVIEW&_LOIO=A87A6A86AE6C1A41893B81BEA0B0B481&_SLOIO=AB17F53B9F150248E10000000A11402F&RELEASE=6955&LANGUAGE=EN&_SEQNUM=76&_SCLASS=IWB_STRUCTIncreasing Budget from Revenues ) and RIB rules with call procedure are now ready for use in availability control checks using automatic cover eligibility or for balancing automatic cover groups .
