As a Task Order can be defined that is not tied to a Funding Profile for reporting or reimbursement purposes, this component is optional. When used, a new Funding Profile can be created for a Major Program. Alternatively, a Task Order can be associated with an existing Funding Profile to ensure processing in the same manner as similar Task Orders. When selecting an existing profile, the transaction will protect all fields for the profile. This includes adding new priorities, funding lines or internal buyer funding lines. The reason for the restriction is the Task Order transaction is not designed to update existing profile as that action could change system behavior on existing Task Orders in the profile.
The Funding Profile component contains the same fields as the "Funding Profile" page.
The Funding Profile component also makes an update to the Task Order Funding Profile Inference (TOFPI) page in order for the new or existing Funding Profile to infer on accounting transactions.
