In the Funding Options dialog box, the “Apply Cash Surplus to” and “Fund Cash Deficit with” areas enable you to specify the order of account use, in the event of cash surpluses or deficits. To reorder, click and drag accounts to different positions in the list.
With a cash surplus, by default, Long-Term Debt: Excess is reduced first if a balance exists. Funds remaining, after reducing other surplus accounts selected, accumulate in Excess Marketable Securities. With a cash deficit, by default, Excess Marketable Securities is used as funding first. If there is still a cash deficit after other selected funding accounts are used up to their forecasted limits. Long-Term Debt: Excess funds the remaining cash deficit in its entirety.
