Documentation

Definition

Use

With this indicator, you can define for each document type how the approval procedure of preposted budget values is controlled:

• If you set the indicator to the value Workflow Active (Documents Can Only Be Posted in WF), workflow-controlled budget approval is executed. The system automatically forwards preposted budget to the budget manager responsible as a workflow item. Workflow-controlled budget requests cannot be approved in the budgeting workbench (BWB). Furthermore, you cannot post budget document directly in the BWB unless you previously made an approval request with provisionally posted budget values.
• If you select the value Workflow Active, with Option for Direct Posting Without WF, then provisionally posted budget documents are transferred to the workflow for approval, just as for the first value of the indicator. You cannot use this to approve workflow-controlled budget requests in the BWB. However, you have the option to post budget documents directly, without workflow and without an approval request with provisionally posted budget values, as long as you have the required authorizations.
• If you set the indicator to the No Workflow default value, the budget requests can be approved in the budgeting workbench. The BWB provides functions for the generic object service so you can do this. The budget manager responsible can select and process the budget requests to be approved.

Dependencies

For workflow-supported approval procedure, you must have activated a workflow sample. For more information, see the Customizing of Funds Management under Workflow -> Role Definition -> Role Definition: Preposted Budget in the Budget Control System.
