Assignment of Commitment items to G/L Accounts

Hi to All,
My name is samad farooq , currently we are have upgrade our system from version 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
In 4.6C, we maintained assignment of G/L Accounts to Commitment Item via transaction code FS00.
Now same has been maintained in ECC6.0 but it gives error no commitment item found for processing.
We can maintain using the derivation strategy (FMDERIVE), but as we have upgraded, is there any way to automatically system derive the commitment without mention all the data again by using the derivation strategy.
Thanking you all in Advance.
Samad Farooq

Hello,
commitment items are essential for the update into the Project Cash Management as the financial transaction which is maintained for the commitment items is used to identify the type of the posting (e.g. invoice, payment, etc). Further informations about the correct customizing of commitment items can be found in note 144169.
The assignment of commitment items to the value categories is similar to the assignment of cost elements or cost element groups to value categories and is needed for the proper update of the data from the Project Cash Management into the Project Information Database (table RPSCO). The Project Information Database is the basis for hierarchy reports. So in case that this customizing isn't done, values from the Project Cash Management might not be shown or might be shown incorrectly in the hierarchy reports (e.g. 31CASH, 31FIM, 31FIMA, 31FIMB).
Assigning one commitment item to all value categories can be done. It is depending how detailed your reporting should be, but from point of the reporting it won't make sense to mix for example commitment items for outgoing payments with commitment items for incoming payments.
Kind regards,
Dirk

Commitment Item for Balance Sheet accounts

Hi all,
Can someone clearly explain the need to create commitment items for balance sheet accounts? I have searched a lot and have not found a satisfactory explanation. Since balance sheet accts are typically not budgeted, why do they even have to be reflected in FM?
Please explain.
Thanks,
MJ

Hi,
Sometimes, there is a need in budget check, through posting on balance sheet accounts, e.g. stocks, assets, etc. However, in most other cases it's indeed not necessary and the commitment item given should be either dummy one or in special cases, GR/IR, banks, etc., defined specifically for the issue in question.
Keep in mind, that once FM is activated every relevant posting must have FM assignment, including those on balance sheet accounts. That's why, even if you don't want to manage the budget, you have to assign FM objects to these postings.

Eli

Some Commitment item for one GL account

Dear experts!
Now, I'm getting some issue about Funds management.
- The first, my company have three department and the each of department have a budget. The detail, Department A have budget is 50M, Department B have budget is 40M and department C have budget is 60M. Therefore, I have create three commitment item corresponding to three departments and three budget. In date 20.01.2014 my company have to buy material A for three department (A, B, C).
- Second, my company create a PR for three department (ABC) with three line item in t.code ME51. Here, can I assign three commitment item to corresponding to three line item? if i can do it then do the system check budget in the case? After that if the PR pass, then I create PO from PR and can I assign three commitment for three line item? In the PO, if I don't assign commitment item for three line Item then in the step of Good Receipt, how do the system process the problem?
Help me to process the issue!
Best regards, Huy

Hi,
Commitment item, in reasonable master data management system, should not represent departments: you have fund centres for this. Commitment items in 95% of the cases will map your chart of accounts (G/L). Derivation of fund centre department could be done through other financial/logistic objects, as cost centres, profit centres, plants, etc.

zafar
Moderator: Use LSMW

Hi,
you can change Commitment item with each 250 GL a/C
1 - use T.Code: MASS
2 - Select Object Type BUS3006 & Execute
3 - Select G/L account master (company code) (SKB1) & Execute
4 - Give Comp Code & GL from to number & Execute
Here select commintment item field and change Mass Records
If you required any help let us know.
Or Create LSMW
Regards
Viswa
Moderator: Points unassigned due to incorrect solution. If the user wants to assign different commitment item to G/L, MASS transaction is not efficient

Budgetory Commitment Items for Recon. accounts

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of budgeting trade creditors in SAP. Currently in our legacy system we are budgeting trade creditors as well as expenses.
Now as per SAP point of view my understanding is that we can only budget expense and revenue items. But for recon. accounts like vendor and customer, budgeting is not possible in SAP. I tried creating a commitment item for vendor recon. account with financial transaction 30 and commitment item category 3 and the same was assigned to recon. account in FS00. I posted budget in this commitment item with reference to fund and fund center through FMBB(T.code). Budget category "payment" was used for posting this budget and budget was successfully posted. Now when i tried to post the invoice to vendor, the system asks me to enter fund and fund center in vendor line item as well. i provided the fund and fund center in vendor line item to which i posted budget earlier in FMBB. the document gets posted without any error but when i view the budget consumption report instead of deducting invoice amount from the consumable budget amount and show the net available budget system add this in the consumable budget and shows the net result as bellow:
can any one guide if budgeting of such item is possible in sap FM or can we just budget P/L items? need your guidance please.

Hi,
Payments made to a vendor can be tracked through FI/FI-CA modules.
As for PSM-FM, please, comprehend and explain to your client two important points:
a) You won't be able to budget a vendor separately, but only, and still hypothetically, through reconciliation account, which makes the whole thing meaningless, as there will be no control on specific vendor
b) You won't stop payment, from business perspective, to a vendor on duly registered invoice just because 'the budget was exceeded'
If your client is interested to follow the payments, he can 'budget' bank accounts. Again, this does not make any sense (at least, a blocking budgeting), because the control is already applied through treasury components and bank account balance itself. Still, technically, it could be done.

Eli

Derivation commitment item / GL account

When we create a payment request or another budget document, don't retrieve automatically the commitment item from the customer/vendor master record.
We need to create a derivation rule or there is any customizing transaction that solve it?
Thank you.

Hello Fran,
Regarding to your first question, you should have a derivation rule which derive the appropriate commitment item.
see this note for more info:
839488 Derivation of commitment item from G/L account
And for your 2nd question: Yes, depending on your postings, the system will consider the combination of Commitment items involved in your document.
You can get more info in this link:

See chapter Recording Actual and Commitment Data -> Update Control ->Update Control: Financial Transaction and Value Type
I hope it helps

Commitment Item error in Stock transport order

Hi all
I have a stock transport order (STO) for a material non valuated in both sending and receiving plants.
While creation , there is an error with respect to completion of an "committment item" *.
If I input the committment item in STO create transaction in R3 , the STO is saved (permitting blank account assignment for the STO item as intended) and there is no further issue till post goods issue in sending plant or GR in receiving plant.
The problem is however that this STO is triggered from APO and transferred via CIF to R3 while there is no chance to input the commitment item. This results into a CIF error with the STO not created in both R3 and APO.
Is there a way I could bypass this "committment stuff" in this situation?
Thanks in advance
Anton
*The exact error message is as follows;
" No commitment item entered in item 00001 plant < >
Message no. FI311
Diagnosis
The posted document contains at least one company code in which Funds Management, Cash Budget Management, or Project Cash Management is active. Therefore you must enter a commitment item in all involved company codes.
Procedure
Enter a commitment item.
If you cannot enter a commitment item, check with your system administrator that your account assignment derivation is adjusted so that the system can automatically derive a commitment item from another account assignment, or from the G/L or cost element. "

Hi,
Did you try using derivation rule using FMDERIVE in case funds management is active.
Please also refer to the link below which guides on the item category to be assigned in Commitment item.

Hi Deepa
Suppose when you post a document rs 5000 and you post the budget on that GL 4000, then system not post the document and give the errro Budget is exceed something.
In that case you check in SPRO -Public sector management -Fund management goverment -Actual & commitment update - integration - Active& deactive fund management
Here you check out fund management is active or deactive.If deactive then system not given the message budget exceddand not update the budget report.
2. No commitment item entered in item 00002 SCL 270303
in that case check the derivation rule Fmderiver transaction code , here you see you assign GL to commitment item
B) you go to the transaction code FMBSBO - Budget adddress - here you assign commitment item to fund center
then also go to FMBSPO - Payment address - here alos you assign the commitment item to fund center
Kindly revert in case of any query

BADI For Commitment Item Change for Service PO

Hi All,
I want to change the commitment item in the PR on change of Material Group . I used the BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST for changing the commitment item and its working fine for all types of PR except Service PR .
In service PR , its changing the commitment item only on clicking the Account Assigment button because at this instant only the BADI is getting trigger .
I want to change the commitment item without clicking the Account Assigment button (on pressing enter or at saving time ) .
Is there any way ?
Thanks
Manik L Dhakate

We are using User Exit MEREQ  EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_010
In our PR creation for ME51n, we are validating the Person through HR Org structure at the Point of Key in his Cost Center, whether he belong to his Department cost center, we use this User Exit MEREQ  EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_010. If he doesnu2019t not belong, the message pop up as u201C Please use your department cost centeru201D. This works very good in case of NB Document Type (Non stock & Materials).
We have customized ZCPR (Service PRs), but for service PRs, the place where we enter Account Assignment is Different screen, either it is planned or unplanned service, the system take you to another separate screen to key in Cost Center & GL, here the validation is not happening,
Please suggest & advice us, we tried in this BADI : ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST, we can fix it. Any User Exit or BADI for Service PRu2019

One Inventory GL to several Commitment Items

Dear BCS experts
Here is a requirement for capital Items.
1. All assets should go to Inventory GL while raising the PR/PO.
2. While issuing the Goods(GI) it should go to respective Assets.
Requirement is while raising the PR/PO, if I select the Blank Account Assignment category, it will ask commitment item.
If I do not assign any commitment item to the inventory GL, will the system allow me to overwrite the commitment item for each line item for the same inventory GL? (manual entry).
Ex: One Inv GL for Computers and accessories.
Commitment items- Fax machines, computers, x-rox, printers..
I would like to select different commitment items for the same computer Inv GL for consuming the Budget and controlling purpose.
Can I do this without any other settings.
Pls confirm
Many Thanks
Rama

Hello,
Does the FM derviation strategy & function module defined for GL to CI? Plus is the CI field compulsory in GL Master record?
Is above are defined in that case, it would depend upon the derivation rule plus the setting whether overwrite is possible or not.
