Assigning (consuming) or crediting funds on a commitment funding sheet is similar to a project or shell funding sheet, with some exceptions. This section assumes that the concepts of assigning and crediting funds of project or shell funding sheets is already understood.
As with project/shell funding, fund consumption on commitment funding sheets is done using general spends or payment application business processes that have been designed to consume funds. (When the spends BP is linked to a base commit that has been enabled to do commitment funding, then funds are consumed from the commitment funding sheet, not the project/shell funding sheet.) As in project/shell funding, funds are assigned from the spends record based on the amount of that record. The behavior of funding business processes depends both on the design options chosen in uDesigner and the Assignment Levels chosen on the commitment funding sheet properties.
Like project/shell funding, fund assignment can be done manually or automatically (by fund balance ratio). This is determined in the Fund Assignment rules set in the sheet Properties.
