This functionality is generally used in French public finance in a CITY-oriented business context.

 

The supervision and management of public finances uses the AP/AE (Program Authorizations, Commitment Authorizations) procedure for the multi-annual management of investments and the monitoring of achievements: it increases budgetary transparency with precise rules.

This information is made available in the application in order to translate these public finance elements, which are generally managed more finely in an external information system. They will be available in budgets as well as in PR or purchase order lines.

The code will be taken into account and reused by the program for functions in the Purchasing Module: Purchase request, Purchase order.

CARL Source does not store specific records for this entity, but the "AP/AE/Assignments" information is associated with the data (PO lines or PR lines) generally exported to third party accounting management software.

This is equivalent to the reference of a financial project (or one of its subcomponents) approved and validated for expenditure.
