Use

Use this step to maintain the calculation formulas to be used for defining rules for revenues increasing the budget (RIB) in Grants Management (GM).

With a calculation formula, you can define:

  • The percentage of collected revenues that will be relevant for a budget increase (usually = 100%)
  • A lower limit for revenues with budget-increasing effect
  • An upper limit for revenues with budget-increasing effect

You have the option to work without lower or upper limits. If you decide to set up a lower or upper limit, then you have to choose the type limit (for instance, absolute value or relative percentage) and enter a value for it.

If you do not work with limits or if you only set up limits using absolute values, it is not necessary to enter revenue budget. Revenue budget values are only needed to calculate limits which are defined by relative percentages.

Requirements

Standard settings

SAP only delivers the standard formula 1000 as template.

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Create your own calculation formulas using the grant currency.
  2. Save your calculation formulas.

Example

You set up the following calculation formula:

  • Relevant percentage of revenues: 50%
  • Lower limit: absolute value = $1,000
  • Upper limit: relative percentage = 200%

The current revenue budget amount may be $1,500, which means that the upper limit will be equal to $3,000.

If you have collected revenues of $1,800, then this will not be sufficient for a budget increase, because only 50% of the revenues - that is, $900 - enter the calculation.

If the collected amount of revenues is $4,000, then $2,000 will become relevant. Since this amount exceeds the lower limit of $1,000, the amount of $1,000 (out of $2,000) has a budget increasing effect and may be distributed to some expenditure budget address.

If no surplus budget address is used, then revenues up to $6,000 may have budget increasing effect, because of the upper limit given by the current revenue budget of $1,500, multiplied by a factor of 2, as defined by the upper limit. Therefore the maximum budget increase will be $2,000 (= upper limit - lower limit), which is reached with collected revenues of $6,000.

Further notes

  • Each calculation formula must be assigned to a currency. This currency must be identical to the grant currency for which calculation formula is to be used.
  • Usually, only the revenues between the lower and upper limit will have a budget-increasing effect. You may, however, set up rules RIB that use surplus budget addresses. If you do, you must set the indicator Use Surplus Amount?. This indicator refers to revenues that exceed the upper limit as defined in the calculation formula, and will then increase the budget of the assigned surplus budget address.
  • Revenues below the lower limit or residual revenues from calculation formulas with percentages < 100% have no budget-increasing effect.
