Budget for a month in Funds Management

Hi Guys
I have done funds managment (budgetory control system) and the same is working fine on control of expenses
Now the doubt i have is the budget is controlled for the entire year and not for a particular month
I will explain the same with an example
Commitment Item - 500000 ( for travel expenses and my funds center is 7000 for admin ) - i have entered a budget of 45000 AED for the period 08 i.e. August 2010 in FMBB
To my understanding if the Budget is entered for a single period i.e. month it should allow to enter the transaction for only that period and not for the entire year
In my case, the system is allowing to do transaction for the whole year i.e. from jan to december 2010 for the total value of 45000 AED and then availablity check comes into picture as the value exceed the budgeted value
Can any one help me on this case, whether the system will check only for the whole year as far as budget is concern or what is the purpose of the field available in FMBB (period - SPERIOD)
Thanks in advance
Bala

Hi,
By default, the budget control in FM as annual (or multi-annual if you work in this mode). Periods are meant only for reporting purpose. In order to achieve monthly control, you have to define your own AVC ledgers. If you are in 6.04 release or later you could use for this purpose Budget Period object:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/08/ea9b16d3b24da5a605ebc46053423a/frameset.htm
If you are on earlier release, then to build monthly control would be more difficult, but still achievable with definning of 12 AVC ledgers, each for every month.

Statistical Posting for PS settlement in Funds Management ECC 6.0

Hi people
Previously in 4.6C, WBS settlement (CJ88) will result in statistical posting in Funds Mgmt.
But now after upgrade to ECC 6.0, it is now considered as actual posting.
I know there is setting under FMCIA where you can set certain commitment item to be a statistical commitment item but we don't want to do that since the commitment is being used for other situation where we do want it to be an actual posting.
Anybody know how to solve this.
thank you very much
irwan

Hi,
You can manage it easily via FMDERIVE functionalities. Define a rule, where depending on busniess transaction (KOAO), the derived commitment item will be a statistical one (the other one, from what you use for regular postings).

Availability Check for Parked Documents in Funds Management

Hi All,
We have a case where budget check is to be enabled for parked document " Save as complete".
We have configured the for value type corresponding to parked document and parked documents are now generating budget consumption line in the availability control ledger.
We are having issues in cases where parked document exceeds budget. The system currently is throwing warning message and is not allowing to park.
We want to convert the message control to error.
Note : MM Module is not used
Thanks,
Sai

I am not sure I understand your problem.
You said:
>We are having issues in cases where parked document exceeds budget. The system currently is >throwing warning message and is not allowing to park.
>We want to convert the message control to error.
Converting the message to an error will also mean that the document cannot be parked. Is this what you want? Isn't this the same as what is happening already?
Thanks

Getting Common Error for any Transaction posting- Fund Management

Hi,
I have created Budget against Commitment Items and linked those commitment Items to GL.
When I am posting any Transaction in F-02, for the same Commitment Item for a less amount, I am getting an error message as shown in the screen shot
When I try posting with another Commitment Item unlike before, I get the same message and same amount.
Now I want to check why in case of both the transactions I am getting the same Budget exceeding message. Please advice how to check the budget.

Hi,
It depends... First of all, I'd suggest running FMAVCREINIT transaction in order to make sure that your AVC ledgers are in good shape.
If you still have the problem, please, revert back.

2 - and flags "Account Assignment Derivation" and/or "Activate Update in Funds Management" are activated in customizing path PSM -> Funds Management Government -> Actual and Commitment Update/Integration -> Activate/Deactivate Funds Management").
The checkbox 'Update' should be marked for your company code

How to release the budget in SAP Funds Management

Hi
How to release the budget in SAP Funds Management. Please let me know the proceedure and the transaction code
Tks

Hi,
The answer depends on if you are using Former Budgeting or BCS.
1) If you are using Former Budgeting:
a. You should use transaction FR51 to enter Release or FR55 to distribute it.
2) If you are using BCS:
a. Within FMBBC transaction you have the option to release the budget, use document type as REL (release).
b. You can activate the automatic release for each budget profile in Customizing of Funds Management Government. To do this, in IMG select Funds Management Government ® Budgeting and Availability Control (Former Budgeting) ® Budget Profiles (Former Budgeting) ® Set Up Budget Profiles.
With the automatic release, the corresponding background releases for expenditures FM account assignments with budget transfers are also posted. Take note that the maximum amount that this automated release can transfer from the sender is the amount that has already been released.
If you do not activate the automated release, the maximum amount that can be transferred from the sender is that which has not yet been released.
c. You can use the mass transaction for release, which is FMMPRELE.
I hope that this answer your inquiry.
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.

Funds Management as a budget source for Grants Management

Hi:
I have grant type whose budget source has been set as Funds Management and transfer to FM check box is also on. Now i have a fund center and commitment item which have been assigned to sponsored program and sponsored class master data respectively. I have created a grant with reference to these Sponsored program and sponsored class in initial draft phase. Now i want to post budget in FM and then automatically transfer it to GM as soon grant is awarded. I am following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/3e/1b7e3cda04f678e10000000a11405a/content.htm .
In FM i have posted a budget (but did not release it) against an external fund, also against commitment items and fund centers which have been assigned to SC & SP respectively. Grant field is set as non relevant grant.
Now my question is at what point in time budget will be will be updated in Grants management , How will the transfer from FM to GM happen ? Please guide me
Regards

Hi Shyamal:
Please note that a DUMMY grant has been created in customizing Define "Not-relevant grant". I am following the process e.g
1..1 have 3 Million Research & education budget for year 2012-13 and for a varying sponsored programs and a sponsored class linked with fund center and commitment items respectively
2..Of these 3 Million i am expecting that i will receive 1 Million as grant .
3..In FMBB i ENTER 3 Million budget against DUMMY Grant along with combination of fund,FC & CI.
4.As soon an MOU is signed with Grantor and he releases amount 0.6 Million for budget i create a Grant master ans set its status to award ..Grant number generated is XYZ
5.Now i n FMBB, i try to release budget again this grant number but system is throwing error that budget amount is not sufficient for release for combination XYZ/FC/CI/Fund , system is true in saying so because earlier budget was entered and posted for DUMMY Grant and now i am trying to release it for Grant XYZ. System does not let me directly ENTER budget in FMBB against Grant XYZ and throws error "Grant XYZ can not be used to enter budget in FM".
Please note that in Grant type budget source has been explicitly defined as "Funds Management"

Exclude budget update in Funds Management for particular FI document type

HI FM gurus !!
We have an issue in FM .We do the service entry for Transporters for the whole years charges at one time . ( for some reason it cant be done for the month) So we have to pass the FI entry for the Prepaid Expenses. But when we do this entry in FI corresponding effect goes in FM and the Budget for this committment item gets INCREASED. THIS WE DONT WANT since this temperorily available budget may get used for other things. This is the background .
so All we would like to do is to prevent the budget update in FM for this Prepaid entry. How can we do this ? is there any config or BADI ?
PLEASE ADVICE

Its been resolved..
For budget not being available for consumption after being posted through FMBB th issue was in my AVC profile. and for the second part where budget was not consumed after invoice being posted through FB60 the issue was in my fiscal yeas variant year shift. the posting was taking plane in the wrong fiscal yeas hence consuming budget for that particular fiscal year and not of the year i intended to post to. Thank you so much fpr approving my query

Check point in fund management for budget and creation of po

I have a Budget for a perticular expenses say Rs 100000/-, so the po should not be created for more than Rs 100000/- as per the budget. but the po is been created for more than the budget amount.
pls. let me know where the check point has to be maintain.
Thanks

Moderator: Please, search SDN

Hi ,
First of all as a primary step you can do the following :
1. is the commitment item getting derived in the PO.
2. Is the commitment item non statistical ( means you have not put the tick on statistical commitment item ) in FMCIA .
3. check the budget amount via the report FMRP_RW_BUDCON for the budget amount and released amount .
Hope this would help .
Cheers ,

Funds Management Budgets and Hierarchies

Hi Folks
We use funds management budgets in our R3 system and import them into an FM cube using 0FI_FM_1. When I run reports including budgets the Hierarchy for Funds Centre cumulates values in subordinate nodes. The problem is that the extractor brings in the budgets at each level as a result of the way the budget is stored in R/3. Previously I knew the lowest level that budgets were stored at and targeted just that data but now the budgets may be stored at varying levels.
I either need to build an DataSource on R3 that provides the "Distributable" budget at whatever level it is stored or do I make the Key figure non cumulative.
Anyone had an similar experiences or solutions with hierarchies

Unable to post FR50 (Original Budget) for New Fund Center

Dear All,
We are in ECC6.0 and using Former Budgeting, Our business team created a new fund center and assigned it to cost center in the derivation rule.
Before they granted original budget using FR50, the business users started posting various invoices, expenses, POs, PRs against the cost center accordingly the Available Budget became Negative.
Now they are trying to post Original Budget for the new fundcenter using FR50, however system gives an error saying Payment Budget exceeded.
Please advice how to grant budget in such situations, we had an alternative to reverse all commitments and actuals posted against the fundcenter and grant budget, this worked in our test environment. However in Production we will not be able to do this due to too much volume already posted.
Is there a way to fix this, note that Availability control is active and not sure why system allowed to post without budget.
Any pointers, is this how standard SAP behaves or are we missing something.
We have also checked on master data elements of commitment item/fundcenter.. everythign looks fine.
request your inputs.
regards
Diwakar

Hi,
I believe you are using Former Budgeting. Please check below if this is not the cause for your issue:
Please check the following customizing that you have done in your system:
SPRO -> Public Sector Management -> Funds Management Government -> Former Budgeting -> Availability Control -> Define Parameters for Availability Control
See if you have set the flag: Check on lowest budget object with budget in your customizing.
Please check the documentation about this flag, specially this part:
"If you do not set the indicator, availability control runs against the first budget object, even if it has received NO BUDGET. This is the setting in the system as delivered."
You can check also report BPINDAN2_NEW.
This means that the budget is going to be checked in the first object with budget in your budget hierarchy.
If this is your case, you have only two options:
1.- Remove the negative budget you have in the combination of funds center/commitment item.
2.- Add the Combination funds center/commitment item to the exemption list of AVC.
I will prefer that you do the first option, as for me sounds strange to have negative budget, but this is one decision that you need to discuss it internally in your company.
If you choose any of the 2 options above, please do not forget to reconstruct your budget and assigned values AFTER you have done one of the options above, with the following transactions (in this order):
1.- Run transaction FMBV in order to reconstruct Budget values.
2.- Run report RFFMRC04 in Test mode in order to check if there is still some inconsistency.
3.- If RFFMRC04 shows inconsistencies, then run this report in Update Mode.
4.- Reconstruct distributed values with transaction FM9P
5.- Reconstruct Total values with transaction FM9Q
6.- Reconstruct assigned values with FMBV again.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

The order for delivery is blocked because of funds management

Hi sap gurus,
when i am doing out bond delivery(T .code -vlo1n) on that time i am getting error--
The order for delivery is blocked because of funds management
Its very very urgent
Thanks
Sai

Hi,
First of all, you go to t. code: KO22, there you check the total budget of the internal order and go to the t.code:S_ALR_87013019, there you check the availability of the budget of that particular order then budget management need to supplement (means increase the budget amount in the order by required amount) the budget KO24 , then you have to try to do Outbound delivery.
