This chapter contains the following topics:
Contract terms for contracts with the U.S. federal government may require that you track the funding for the U.S. federal government. To accomplish this, you set up ACRNs for the funding level contract. ACRNs are numbers that are provided to you by the U.S. federal government and they identify the source of the funding. You assign portions of the funded amounts from the contract to ACRNs and then as you generate invoices, the system depletes the amounts based on the depletion method that is set up on the contract. Three methods for depleting ACRNs are available:
First-in, first-out (FIFO)
You assign a sequence number to each ACRN for the funding level contract, and the system depletes the ACRNs in the order that you specify.
Ratio
You assign percentages to each ACRN for the funding level contract, and the system determines how to depletes the ACRNs by accumulating the invoice amounts based on the base method of the ACRN and then multiplying the amount by the percentage that you specify for each ACRN. The percentages must total 100.
Manual
You manually enter the amount by which to deplete the ACRN for each invoice.
When you enter ACRNs, you select one of five tabs on which to enter them. The five tabs represent the different base methods for entering ACRNs. Base methods determine the invoice amounts that deplete the ACRN. These are the five base methods:
Sum
You set up ACRNs using portions of the total of the funded cost and fee amounts. The system uses the cost and fee amounts from the invoice to deplete the ACRN.
Total
You set up ACRNs using portions of the total of the funded cost, fee, and award fee amounts. The system uses the total of the cost, fee, and award fee amounts from the invoice to deplete the ACRNs.
Award Fee
You set up ACRNs using portions of the funded award fee amount. The system uses the award fee amounts from the invoice to deplete the ACRNs.
Cost
You set up ACRNs using portions of the funded cost amount. The system uses the cost amounts on the invoice to deplete ACRNs.
Fee
You enter ACRNs using portions of the funded fee amount. The system uses the fee amounts on the invoice to deplete the ACRNs.
Depending on which base method you select, you enter amounts on either one tab or multiple tabs. For example, if you select the Total tab, you enter amounts only on that tab. If you select the Cost tab, you might enter cost amounts on the Cost tab, but also enter fee amounts on the Fee tab.
If you need to change the base method, you must first revise the base method by selecting Base Method Revision from the Form menu on the ACRN Detail Revisions form. The system then moves the ACRNs to the tab that corresponds to the new method that you selected.
If the total of the ACRNs for a funding level contract exceeds the funded amounts for the contract, the system generates a warning.
The system stores detail information for ACRNs in the ACRN Detail table (F52G05). The system stores ACRN history in the ACRN History Table (F52G05H). You can use the ACRN History Inquiry program to review ACRN history by invoice.
When you submit invoices to the U.S. federal government for contracts that use ACRNs, you are also required to submit a report listing the ACRNs for the invoice and the associated amounts. You use the Voucher Accounting Classification Information report (R52G509) for this listing. For each ACRN for the invoice, the R52G509 report lists the ACRN number, description, and the associated funded amount, current amount, cumulative amount, and remaining balance.
The system runs the R52G509 report when you run the Print U.S. Government 1034 Invoice (R52G508) program. The system runs the R52G508 program when you run the Print U.S. Government 1035 Invoice program (R52G507), but only when you have set up the processing options for the R52G507 program to do so. To ensure that you generate the R52G509 report when you print invoices for contracts with the U.S. federal government, perform one of the following actions:
On the funding level contract, enter an invoice format code that uses a version of the R52G507 program with the processing options set to run the R52G508 program.
Set up the processing options on the Project and Gov Print tab for the R48504 program to run a version of the R52G507 program that has the processing options set to run the R52G508 program.

In this example, you set up a funding-level contract to use ACRNs, set up the ACRNs, and then generate two invoices for the contract.
This example shows how you set up the funding-level contract to use ACRNs:
Figure 9-1 Example of ACRN setup for a contract
The contract has been set up to use the FIFO method for depleting cost and fee amounts, and the ratio method for depleting award fee amounts.
This example shows the funded amounts for the contract:
Figure 9-2 Example of funded amounts for contract
You set up four ACRNs for funding-level contract 600 and assign $50,000.00 USD to the first three ACRNs and $70,000.00 USD to the fourth ACRN. This example shows the four ACRNs, amounts, and sequence numbers:
Figure 9-3 Example of ACRN setup for cost and fee amounts
You select the By Sum tab and set up four ACRNs using portions of the total of the funded cost and fee amounts. The system uses the cost and fee amounts from the invoice to deplete the ACRNs. You also assign sequence numbers to each ACRN to specify the order in which the system depletes the four ACRNs.
You then select the By Award Fee tab and set up three ACRNs for award fee amounts. Because funding-level contract 600 is set up to use the ratio method for award fees, you assign percentages to each ACRN. This example shows the ACRNs for award fee amounts:
Figure 9-4 Example of ACRN setup for award fee amounts
The total cost and fee amount for the first invoice for funding-level contract 600 is $87,000.00 USD. This example shows how the system depletes the ACRNs for the cost and fee amounts on the first invoice:
Figure 9-5 Example of ACRN depletion for cost and fee amounts for first invoice
The system depletes ACRN 1001 first and then depletes the remaining amount ($37,000.00 USD) from ACRN 1002.
The award fee amount for the first invoice is $8,000.00 USD. This example shows how the system depletes the ACRNs for award fees for the first invoice:
Figure 9-6 Example of ACRN depletion for award fee amounts for the first invoice.
The system depletes the award fee ACRNs as follows:
Depletes $1,600.00 USD from ACRN 2001.
20 percent of $8,000.00 USD = $1,600.00
Depletes $2,400.00 USD from ACRN 2002.
30 percent of $8,000.00 USD = $2,400.00
Depletes $4,000.00 USD from ACRN 2003.
50 percent of $8,000.00 USD = $4,000.00
The total cost and fee amount for the second invoice for contract 600 is $62,000.00 USD. This example shows how the system depletes the ACRNs for the cost and award fee amounts for the second invoice:
Figure 9-7 Example of ACRN depletion for cost and fee amounts for the second invoice
The system depletes $13,000.00 USD from ACRN 1002 and then depletes $49,000.00 USD from the next ACRN, which is ACRN 1003.
The award fee amount for the second invoice is $6,000.00 USD. This example shows how the system depletes the ACRNs for award fee amounts for the second invoice:
Figure 9-8 Example of ACRN depletion for award fee amounts for the second invoice
The system depletes the award fee ACRNs as follows:
Depletes $1,200.00 USD from ACRN 2001.
20 percent of $6,000.00 USD = $1,200.00
Depletes $1,800.00 USD from ACRN 2002.
30 percent of $6,000.00 USD = $1,800.00
Depletes $3,000.00 USD from ACRN 2003.
50 percent of $6,000.00 USD = $3,000.00
