A commitment funding sheet is created for each base commit that has been designed for Commitment Funding Sheet.
Funds can be allocated from the Shell template Funding sheet to the Commitment Funding Sheet. This sheet works in conjunction with the Schedule of Values (SOV) sheet to track base commit and change commit line items and balances. Commitment Funding Sheet templates are created and set up in the Templates node, and are used to create the commitment funding sheet structure in a project or shell (or in a project or shell template).
This structure is then used when sheets are created for individual base commit records. A Commitment Funding Sheet in a shell template will be included in the Configuration Package.
The Structure option changes from Create Structure to Update Structure after a selection of the Commitment Funding sheet is made.
If the Structure has not yet been created then an error message will be seen.
This same behavior will be seen in the following logs:
- General Spends SOV
- Payment Applications SOV
- Summary Payment Applications SOV
- Document Manager (Structure creation is not applicable here)
Conditions for Creating a Commitment Funding setup Configuration Package
When the Sheet Setup information is packaged for the first time, the design of any data source used in the column definition of the sheet must be part of the package.
This means that these designs must be included in the Configuration Package. If this check fails then the package creation will result in an error.
For subsequent exports, check will be made to ensure that the design which uses the Data Element (ex: Status) that is specifically used in the setup is present in the Published package.
As long as this condition is met, the package creation will be successful. If not, the latest design will have to be included in the package.
Other dependency checks performed at the time of Import:
When the Sheet Setup information is imported for the first time, the Funding Sheet defined in the shell template must also be included in the package. If this check fails, then the package import will result in an error.
