- Receivables should only be created for units not in the Commitments application or if the obligating unit does not intend to create a Commitment.
- Commitments should only be made for obligations from your unit.
- Utilize comments when possible so the netID and timestamp are recorded.
- Status, Category, Keyword(s), Contacts, Description, Comments, Default Funding Source, etc
- Use descriptive, meaningful sub-commitment titles.
- Put attachments and comments that should be visible on the Receivables side in the public sections of sub-commitments.
- Utilize the “Processed Transfers” report to check sub-commitment statuses. Once sub-commitment obligations have been fulfilled, change their statuses to “Complete.”
- Once all sub-commitments of a commitment have been fulfilled, change its status to “Complete.”
- For “Pending” commitments and sub-commitments, try to update them to “Active” once the obligation becomes firm–i.e., proposal matches are awarded, retentions are successful, etc.
