budget.

funds reservations etc are available to be drawn down on in the next fiscal year.
Prerequisites
That there are commitment item documents in the system that are still open and therefore
eligible to carry forward to the next fiscal year.

Helpful Hints
Select each Value Type separately so as to have manageable groups of open items that are
being carried forward. Value types are linked to documents that carry commitments: purchase
requisitions, purchase orders, funds reservations, parked documents, etc.
Procedure
Whereas it is possible to run this process without narrowing the parameter, but there
will be a significant number of documents so it will be more meaningful and
manageable to use one or more of the parameters and narrow the selection.
Sender Fiscal Year R The fiscal year for the document that has the open
commitment that is being carried over to the next year.
Example: 2011
Grant O Legal instrument used to establish a funding relationship
between a sponsor (grantor) and grantee, in order to carry out
a public purpose of support or stimulation in which the
sponsor does not expect to be substantially involved. A grant
may be for any purpose and cover all or only part of the costs
of the project in question. You must enter a grant type for
each grant you create in Grants Management (GM). The grant
as an object has a finite lifecycle, divided into stages. Each
stage is represented in the GM solution by a system status.
Commitment Item O A numeric code of the commitment items for which you are
creating, changing, and displaying or assigning budget.
Functional Area O The Functional Area is a unit that classifies the expenditures,
revenues and budget of an organization by a dimension other
than organization.
Company Code O A numeric code that uniquely identifies the Company. The
company is the independent accounting unit or in most cases
is a legal entity. WRHA is the sole ‘Company’ configured in
SAP and has a code of 1000. You can prepare a balance
sheet and income statement for each company code.
Process with Dialog O If you set this indicator, the data will not be processed
immediately when the program is run, a proposal list of items
is generated first. You can then select the items that the
program should process from this list and trigger the
processing of these items by selecting Carryforward
Selection.
Detail List O Defines that the program issues a detailed list of processed
line items. If you do not set this indicator, you only get a totals
record log. Nevertheless, line items that the program could
not process because of errors are issued individually. To
improve the performance of the program and to save memory
space, you should not generate a line item list when
processing a large number of line items.
When selecting the transactions you would like to carry forward you can
o Select all
o Select a range
For the most part the Region will be selecting all. There could be situations were items
might not be carried forward, examples could be
o Certain Government grants that must be spent before year end, therefore anything
that is not received before year end is not eligible
