Funds Availability adds real-time budget checking and budget override functions to Purchasing Workflow, these extensions provide the sophisticated tools to organisations where budgetary management is a critical element of the procurement process.

Funds Availability extends the Purchasing Workflow module to provide organisations with greater sophistication in managing the procurement process within strict budgetary controls.

Funds Availability operates in both the GL & PJC context.

To enable managers to make informed approval decisions, Funds Availability includes a powerful User Interface that provides a view of funds availability at a cost centre level.

The Funds Availability interface allows drill down to source documents that comprise the actual values, as well as to documents traversing Sage 300 ERP that are not yet in the GL actuals.

This interface also provides management with an important facility to review budget consumption throughout a period before budgetary limits are reached or exceeded.

Managers of Cost Centres have the ability to create Funds Availability Transfers, auditable transactions outside GL budgets that reallocate budget values between GL accounts and periods.

Funds Availability Transfers assist where extraordinary transactions require operational budget reallocations. The workflow engine take into account transfer values – as a result budget exceptions are determined from the adjusted budget values.
