The policy name has changed to Service Clearing Account (SCA) for non-Atlas UN Entities: Charging, Billing and Fee Collection. The following are changes made in the policy
1. For UN entities who do not use Atlas (the "Non-Atlas agencies"), a dedicated Service Clearing Account (SCA) is established for each UN entity. Through SCAs, all global advance pre-payments from UN Agencies are recorded, and all services provided by UNDP offices to these UN entities are recorded. A dedicated Service Clearing Account is not applicable to Atlas Agencies (UNFPA, UN Women, UNU, UNCDF, UNV). For Common Services, please refer the NEW guidelines HERE.)
2. To ensure the UN entity has sufficient funds deposited with UNDP in order for UNDP to provide services, a budget sufficiency check is performed based on the chart field combination of "Fund" (Atlas fund code 12000) and "Donor" (a dedicated donor code for each Agency). As long as the UN entity has enough funds deposited with UNDP, the budget check will pass and be valid.
7. The daily batch process posts the bills to debit the agency Service Clearing Account (SCA) and credit the CO income account respectively.
