Commitment Rules Workspace

Use this workspace to enter rules for controlling purchase order amounts against the budget when you approve purchase orders.

For each line, enter a commitment level and the ranges within the 12-dimensional chart of accounts to determine when the commitment level on the line in question is to be used in the control of committed amounts.

In the Commitment Rules tab, enter a budget type and the rules for the control of committed amounts. Maconomy uses the budget type plus the entry date and company number for an entry to determine the relevant budget model. The budget model determines the fiscal year to which commitment accounting applies and the budget figures against which committed amounts are checked.

In the Commitment Rule Lines sub-tab, assign the relevant commitment levels and specify any follow-up values (dimension value ranges) to use as selection criteria for the use of each commitment level.
