Use

You use this function to define which FM account assignment (combination of commitment item, funds center and, if applicable, fund and functional area) should be combined in a cover pool when Generating Cover Pools Automatically

You can define one rule for several cover pools if you wish.

Integration

If the Master Data Subdivision is active, you can enter rules by using the substrings defined in Customizing. The Funds Management account assignment elements are put together from all substrings when a cover pool is generated automatically using the subdivision ID specified.

If the master data subdivision is not active, define the rules for the combination of FM account assignment elements commitment item, fund center and, if applicable fund and functional area.

Features

You can create several rules. The order of the rules is important because an FM account assignment can only belong to one cover pool. Once an FM account assignment is assigned to a cover pool during automatic cover pool generation, it is not considered for the next rule. An exception is when a rule has a cover pool with only one FM account assignment. This individual FM account assignment is included in a cover pool if it matches a following rule.

You can either enter the complete key of an account assignment element or replace individual characters of the key with placeholders.

The following special characters are available as placeholders:

If you create your set of rules with placeholders, it may be that FM account assignments are also included in a cover pool that should not even have reciprocal cover eligibility. Therefore, you can define that FM account assignments that should not be eligible for cover are not included in the generation of cover pools.To exclude FM account assignments from the cover eligibility, you create rules at the beginning of your set of rules for these FM account assignments and set the indicator Do not Include in Cover Pool for this rule.

Example

The following example displays the principle followed when you generate cover pools based on the rules defined, with and without master data subdivision.

If you create the following rules, account assignments are combined in cover pools CP 1 and CP 2. Note that you can only create a cover pool if it combines at least 2 FM account assignments.
