Use

If the available funds are not sufficient, you can top up the budget in a funds center or commitment item by means of a supplement.

Features

There are two forms of supplement:

In doing so, you distribute the supplement within the budget hierarchy, from superior levels to subordinate ones. The budget supplement must not exceed the amount in the superior level. The amount of supplement depends on the distributable value (difference between the budget and the budget already distributed) and assigned value (commitments/actuals data) in the superior level. For more information on, see Budget Allocation: Budget Distribution

In such cases, you are allocating additional budget for a certain FM account assignment regardless of how much budget is still available for the superior funds centers and commitment items. In doing so, the distributable value for FM account assignment increases by the amount of the supplement.

The supplement is passed on to superior funds centers and commitment items. The distributable value in the superior levels does not change. The distributed value (total of budget value of the directly subordinate funds centers or commitment items) and an existing supplement in superior levels are increased by the amount of this supplement.
