Define Commitment Fund Assignment Rules
The fund assignment rules define how assignment will be done on the spends business processes created against the base commit being funded: either manually or automatically by fund ratio.
Funding assignment levels and rules can be defined in the commitment funding template, structure, or individual sheets. It is easiest to set them once -- in the template -- and have them carried forward into the structures and sheets created from it. If necessary, these options can be modified later for individual structures and sheets. These rules must be defined on the commitment funding sheet in order to do commitment level funding.
To set up commitment funding assignment rules
- Open the Properties window of the commitment funding template, structure or sheet. (From the File menu, choose Properties.)
- Click the Assignment tab. The list displays all General Spends and Payment Application Business Processes that are linked to a Base Commits that has been enabled for commitment funding and has been designed to consume funds according to the design.
- For each listed spends business process, click the Assignment Rule drop-down and select one of the following:
- Commitment Level - Manual: Funds are manually assigned at runtime. As spends business processes are routed and reach specified status, the amounts to be funded are collected under the Unassigned total on the commitment funding sheet, similar to project/shell level manual funding. You can then select each line of the spends BP and assign funds at runtime. Consumed funds roll up to the commitment funding sheet and the project funding sheet.
- Commitment Level - Auto Ratio: Funds are assigned automatically when the spends business process reaches a specified status. Funds are assigned based on the fund ratio, which is calculated based on the fund levels (using the value in the column of data source Funding Ratio Across All Funds on the commitment funding sheet), and is managed and tracked on the commitment funding sheet. If all funds are consumed, any remaining spends amounts are collected under Unassigned.
- Click OK.
