In this step, you activate unilateral and reciprocal cover eligibility and the call procedure for revenues increasing the budget. This triggers an enhanced availability control check for postings. This check is based on rules which you define for the different types of cover eligibility in master data maintenance.

If a payment is posted availability control checks whether there is sufficient budget on the budget-bearing element. If there is not sufficient budget, AVC also checks whether the expenditure FM account assignment could use budget from another FM account assignment. The three types of cover eligibility must be taken into account for this:

  1. The expenditure commitment item is the receiver of revenues increasing the budget.
    This check is only made if you implement the call procedure.
  2. The expenditure commitment item is entitled to cover and can use budget due to unilateral cover eligibility.
  3. The expenditure commitment item participates in a cover pool.

If the appropriate rules are defined in master data maintenance, an expenditure commitment item can be involved in all three procedures at the same time. Therefore, you also have to define the order in which the budget available through cover eligibility is used in this step in case the existing budget is not sufficient.

Note:

If you have defined that revenues increasing the budget and unilateral and reciprocal cover eligibility are not compatible (in the step Define Basic Settings for Cover Eligibility), the expenditure FM account assignments can either only use budget from revenues increasing the budget or from unilateral/reciprocal cover eligibility. This is already ensured by appropriate checks during the definition of rules, regardless of the settings in this step. You can find more information on the checks in the section Define Basic Settings for Cover Eligibility.

Requirements

To use the cover eligibility functions, you have to create budget types and define which budget types should be eligible for cover in the payment and commitment budgets.

You have to carry out the following steps:

You can only use the cover eligibility functions if:

Activities

  1. Activate cover eligibility.
  2. Enter the sequence you want for the cover eligibility check for each FM area and fiscal year.
  3. Start the report to reconstruct the assigned values and initialize the cover eligibility structures as soon as the rules for cover eligibility are defined and budget is assigned. Choose Budgeting -> Former Budgeting -> Tools -> Reconstruct -> Assigned in the Funds Management menu.

Note:
This settings only applies to the fiscal year entered, you have to define the sequence for each year.

Further notes

Tolerance Limits

A tolerance limit of 100% automatically applies to all expenditure FM assignments in unilateral or reciprocal cover eligibility relationships in availability control. This applies regardless of the tolerance limits defined for individual activities in the step Define Tolerances for Availability Control.

You can define whether the availability control issues an error or a warning by using the fields Warning with Budget Overrun with Unilateral Cover Eligibility and Warning Budget Overrun for Revenues Increasing the Budget that control the action of the availability control for each type of cover eligibility. If a Funds Management account assignment is used in several cover eligibility relationships and this field is selected for one of these relationships, a warning is issued.

Message Control

In message control of Controlling, you can define that a message is issued if a posting uses external budget. Activate the message 785 for this in work area BP of Customizing for Controlling. Choose Controlling -> General Controlling -> Message Control.

You can find more information on cover eligibility in the documentation for Funds Management Government, under Unilateral and Reciprocal Cover Eligibility and Revenues Increasing the Budget.
