Grants Management for Grantee: Do you need a flexible derivation of BVP?

254 Views

Hello all,

GM for Grantee can distribute the grant budget over time slices, so-called budget validity periods (BVP). As of now, the BVP is strictly derived from the posting date of a given document. In some discussions with customers we learned that additional flexibility is needed. Does this apply to your organization, too?

We know about the following business scenarios:

- When raising a purchase order the BVP should be derived from the expected delivery date and not from the PR/PO document date.

- For a transition time of 60 or 90 days, the sponsor allows you to assign expenses to a previous BVP. The budget consumed should be from this old period and not the current one. The previous BVP must be derived.

- Retroactive HR postings should go into a previous BVP.

If you like to comment on these scenarios or have other requirements please post them here.
