Overview

Business Context:

Budget transfers need to be limited (controlled) according

to rules defined by law and loaded into system by the

customer.

Development scope:

- Localization for MENA region countries

- Funds Management functional area (FI-FM)

- Software component EAPSGLO


Overview Detail

Governmental Institutions in Saudi Arabia, UAE and many

other MENA countries are strictly following some rules and

instructions stipulated by Ministry of Finance (MOF)

regarding any financial aspect or activity carried out by these

governmental institutions.

The core controller of all Governmental Institutions’ financial

aspects is the BUDGET.

The approved budget is provided by Ministry of Finance

(MOF) to the governmental institutions to spend on

designated activities i.e. every expenditure (financial wise)

done by these governmental institutions should be linked to

budget item in the BUDGET and cannot exceed (otherwise

unbudgeted expense request should be created for

approval) the designated budget amount.

In some cases whenever it’s justifiable, government

organizations need to transfer some pre-approved

budgets from one budget items (Commitment items) to

another whenever possible and as per the instructions

received from Ministry of Finance (MOF).

Main requirements Overview

This development has a total of 19 main requirements;

Due to the extensive list of requirements we list here some of the main ones:

Type Requirement

Rule setup Defining more than one rule per Commitment Item (CI)

Rule setup Use of lists or ranges of CIs in a single rule

Budget Cap Budget cap: using fixed value

Budget Cap Budget cap: using a % of the total sender budget

Budget Cap Budget cap: using the rule budget key to define how to calculate the CI budget cap

Additional restrictions Rule time validity

Rule conflict management Prevent the creation of overlapping rules

Globalization Solution available in Arabic

Compatibility Future compatibility with a Workflow implementation


Main requirements Options

The following options were analyzed regarding the

possible requirements’ coverage:

• Consistency Check (*)

This development is comprised of 4

major building blocks:

• the BADI implementation that

extends the functionality of

transaction FMBB;

• The DSM development that

contains most of the logic (using

BRFplus);

• the Service objects that provide

most of the information needed

during the check process;

• the customization that allows the

user to configure the behavior of

the solution.

1 - SAP NetWeaver Decision Service Management is an

add-on to BRFplus


Implementation Details

FMBB Extension: enables the transfer check when a document is being checked or posted. In order to

do this, a standard BADI was implemented and the transaction will run this BADI implementation every

time a document check is performed.

DSM Implementation: includes most of the logic behind the definition and processing of the budget rules.

The customer defines the rules in a BRF+ object called Decision Table. BRF+ will receive as input the

information about the document that the user is trying to check/post and outputs if the transfer is allowed

or not. If the transfer is not allowed BRF+ will output the calculation details so that the user knows why the

transfer was not allowed.

Service Support Objects: is responsible for providing the information necessary for several of the

calculations made in DSM.

Customization: allows the user to enable the rule checking and allows the configuration of some aspects

of the program behavior.

SAP NW DSM implementation

Overview

Total of 139 objects

• 2 Applications

• 1 Ruleset

• 1 Function

• 24 Rules

• 1 Decision Table
