The following diagram provides a pictorial high level overview of the process to infer funding profiles and determine eligibility.
As mentioned above, there are multiple COA reference pages that work with the funding profile inference pages to determine reimbursement eligibility: Program, Program Phase, Activity, Object, and Funding Profile.
Each of these has a Reimbursement Eligible indication that will determine if a Funding Profile is eligible or not. It only takes one to be ineligible to stop the inference of a record is found on one of the several Funding Profile Inference pages that overrides that setting to eligible.
For example, inference pages can be setup such that an enhanced Funding Profile is inferred for your Food Stamps fraud related program and a standard Funding Profile is inferred for a food stamp issuance program. In this example, the Federal government can reimburse 90% of eligible expenditures within the agreements of the enhanced Funding Profile, but only reimburse 50% of eligible expenditures in the standard profile.
To simplify data entry, CGI Advantage Financial automatically determines the Funding Profile of entry transactions based on rules defined by your grant/project manager on one of the Funding Profile Inference pages. There are several variations to allow for different chart of account (COA) values used with a Major Program to determine a Funding Profile. The choice of one or more of these for use is determined during implementation based on COA use, reimbursable budget structure(s) used, and the reporting needs of the Cost Accounting area. The application reviews them in the order presented below, meaning if an earlier page supplies a Funding Profile, a later page will not perform an inference.
