Commitment carryforward (Former budgeting)

Dear all,
After having upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0, we tried to cancel commitment carryforward (RFFMCCFR) and we obtained the following message : "no item found for the reversal of the commitment carryforward". Table FMIOI is well updated with amount type 0350.
Can u help me ?
Thanks

Hello Jean-Didier,
After an upgrade, table FMIT might not be correctly updated, and this may also cause problems  in CF processes.
Please have a look at this note and follow its instructions:
977016 FMIT: Missing totals records in Funds Management
check whether RFFMRC04 shows any inconsistency and let  us know, Ok?
thanks and best regards, Mar

    While trying to carryforward commitments via FMJ2(for chain documents) the system gave the following error message (select at least one line).There was no line that i could select besides the actual purchase requisition/order  line .I highlighted the PR/PO line but the error continued.
    I have been unable to carryforward the open commitments from the last fiscal year to the new one because of this error.Will appreciate ideas

  • Accounts reassignments during commitment carryforward

    We had change in organizational structure and now need functional restructuring during year change operations.
    We want to make account reassignments with the carryover.
    If in the Customizing of Funds Management I have defined that commitment carryforward and budget carryover are possible.
    Account assignment change is allowed during the commitment carryforward of purchase orders.
    Strategy for Reassignment with relationships of the u201Coldu201D to the u201Cnewu201D account assignment is made.
    And now I ran FMJ2 to do purchase order carryforward.
    But it appears to have ignored the assignment change, and ignored any subsequent activity applied to the new assignment.
    Assignment stay as it was.
    Has anybody else enountered this? Can anybody tell me what may be causing this, and how to fix it?
    Thank you.

    Eli, thank you very much!))
    Now derivation strategy for reassingnment works! But it works wrong - I don't understand where I made a mistake.
    Let me describe my derivation for reassignment.
    I have 4 steps. In first three I initialyze:
    1. Initialization of commetment item - Derivation performed successfully. Value before:1, Value after: (blank)          
    2. Initialization of Fund - Derivation performed successfully.  Value before:3, Value after: (blank)     
    3. Initialization of Fund center - Derivation performed successfully.  Value before:7, Value after: (blank)     
    4. Derivation rule, with simple rule value, for example: 1/3/7(source fields)=1/3/1(target fields) -  Derivation not performed. Reason:source field contains no value.
    And now I have 2 mistake messages in FMJ2:
    The value BLANK/SPACE is not valid; acct assgmt element Funds Center (strategy for reassignment) - Message no. FMCF803
    The value BLANK/SPACE is not valid; acct assgmt element Commitment Item (strategy for reassignment) Message no. FMCF803

  • Enhance Budget Entry Documents for Commitment Carryforward

    Anyone implemented the badi: Enhance Budget Entry Documents for Commitment Carryforward before?
    May I know what changes are required in order to ensure that the budget entry documents is in local currency (SGD) when commitment carryforward is in foreign currency (USD)?

    Hi,
    So, you want the budgetary document to be posted in local currency? I don't ask for reasons, though, as you probably know, even if the document is posted in foreign currency, local currency amount would be also there and the AVC would be performed also in local currency. But, if you need to change the currency, you can indeed use this BADI and modify I_BUDGET_ENTRY_DOC_SENDER and I_BUDGET_ENTRY_DOC_RECEIVER parameters, changing the currency and the amount.
    I'm not sure about your remark 'change code' as BADI does not come with any code at all. You will have to implement the BADI providing your own code to change the required fields.

    Eli

  • Activate carryforward of budget for commitments

    Hello Gurus,
    When we execute carryforward for a purch order or purch requisition,
    eventhough we activated the carryforward of budget for commitments, the
    system is updating only table FMBDT.
    So the amount of the carryforward item does not affect the avaliability
    control (table FMAVCT) so we end up having more commitment on the next
    year but without the avaliability of the document carried forward.
    When we sum the record type '1 Plan' minus '0 Actual' we realize that wehave less avaliable budget than before.
    In table FMBDT the system creates a record for process 'CORV Carry For.
    Recv' for record type 1 Plan.
    We reestructure avaliability control tx FMAVCREINIT and it does nothing.
    Regards,
    Adriana.

    Hello,
    Maybe some quick check can help you trouble shoot the problem:
    1. Identify the Budget Type for Carry-forward receiver:
    Spro > Public sector management > Funds management government > Closing operations > Closing operations for BCS > Define budget entry documents for commitment carryforward; look for Settings for receiver lines and get the Budget Type.
    2. Check whether the above Budget Type is included in the AVC Ledger:
    Spro > Public sector management > Funds management government > BCS > Availarbility control > Settings for availability control leger > Define filter settings for budget values > Define the consumable budget; select ledger 9H and check whether the budget type identified in 1 is included.

  • Migration from FB (Former Budgeting) to BCS - Commitments/Actuals

    Dear Experts,
    We are going to migrate our system from FB (Former Budgeting) to BCS, in the middle of the current year.
    The migration activities deal only with Budget data migration.   
    My question is:  How to migrate Commitments and Actuals ?   
    We use only Payment Budget
    Please advise
    Yaacov

    Dear Yaakov,
    Are you thoroughly clear on the concept and functionality of Budget Control System?
    Compared to FB, BCS provides changes to 2 main functionalities in PSM-FM:
    1, Budgeting/planning
    2, Availability Control (AVC)
    -> This means, that the processes / functionalities / technical details for commitments/actuals are not changed in any way by implementing / migrating BCS. 
    The BCS implementation changes the data structures for budgeting tables. That is why migration of data from old budget tables to new ones is needed (even this is not mandatory, if you choose to use old reports for old budget data). You can check budget table correspondency between FB and BCS here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/c3/2c344071c82b22e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    The main point is, that commitment/actuals data is not changed, and thus no migration for those is possible (or needed). The commitments remain to be updated in table FMIOI and actuals in table FMIT. You just need to use the new BCS reports to view for example budget consumption when BCS has been activated (for example report FMRP_RW_BUDCON).
    Also, you might want to consider if the migration of the old budget data is overall an absolutely mandatory requirement. Technically, you do not need to run any migration, but you can use old FB reports for previous fiscal years and just simply load only future budgeting data into the BCS. At my customer it was decided that no migration is needed, and we went successfully live with BCS withtout any issues. For past fiscal years they will be using FB reports.

  • Former Budgeting Vs BCS

    Hi Guys,
    We have to configure the "Funds Management" Module for our client. What would you guys suggest we should opt for
    1. Former Budgeting
    2. Budget Control Systems
    Appreciate and value your suggestion and if some one has the latest documentaion available for BCS, can you please forward or atleast tell us where to look for it.
    Regards
    Saqib

    Hi Saqib,
    Please find below mentiones some important point wise comaprison of both BCS Vs budgeting.
    BCS:The functions in this component support budget planning, budget execution and allow you to monitor the availability of funds.The budget control system (BCS) in Funds Management is an alternative to former budgeting. BCS is designed to allow flexible customer-specific adjustments to all important functions. BCS is SAP’s strategic budgeting tool.
    Implementation Considerations:If you use the Grants Management component integrated with Funds Management, only BCS fulfills the prerequisites necessary for this. This also applies if you want to work with funded programs for the account assignment. The required FM account assignment elements Grant and Funded Program are only supported in BCS.
    SAP does not intend BCS and Former Budgeting to be used at the same time. Therefore, menu transactions, functions and the necessary Customizing are separate.
    If you want to use the budget control system as an operative budgeting tool in Funds Management, you must activate this in the Customizing of Funds Management, under Basic Settings->Activate Global Functions for Budget Control System ( BCS).
    Integration:All other FM master data is also supported in BCS, as well grant and funded program master data.
    BCS includes an integrated planning tool with basis functions for budget planning. If you want to use comprehensive budget planning, you can exchange data with SAP’s Strategic Enterprise Management.
    You can use BCS together with Position Budgeting and Control (PA-PM-PB).
    The Business Information Warehouse System (BW) is intended as a comprehensive reporting tool for the budget control system, starting from Release 3.0B. You can upload your BCS planning data from BW. BCS only works with Funds Management and Grants Management, not with other components that can also budget.
    Features: You can select the relevant FM account assignments as budget addresses and posting addresses from the entirety of the master data combinations, by using the functions of the Budget Structure.
    ·        Budget distribution and the assignment of posting addresses, budget addresses and availability control objects in BCS depends on the master data hierarchy, which you can define as you wish by using derivation strategies defined in Customizing.
    ·        Customer-definable budget types, entry document types and consistency checks in BCS Budgeting allow you to map the requests of your organization in the system.
    ·        Budget entry and budget update activities are based on documents and are logged in budget entry documents. You display and maintain these in the Budgeting Workbench.
    ·        Status Management allows you to subdivide the budget execution process in individual budgeting phases and define specific user roles through different authorization assignments.
    ·        The BCS Availability Control is a flexible tool that you can customize to monitor and compare budget values and commitment/actual values. This control allows you to use independent availability control checks simultaneously.
    Restrictions:The budget control system delivered with the Enterprise-Release (EA-PS 1.10) is new and will be enhanced with additional functions in following releases.Functions such as revenues increasing the budget and releases are supported with release EA-PS 2.00. SAP also provides support for migration from Former Budgeting to BCS.
    Note that BCS reporting functions are not designed for comprehensive management reporting. You must use the Business Information Warehouse system as of Release 3.0B. BCS is not intended for use by German Government customers.Because of the reasons given above, SAP recommends that you analyze your organization’s existing functions and requirements.
    Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

  • Problem in Commitment line items & Budget check

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing a problem in my system for Commitment line items & budget check.
    I followed the below steps:
    1. Created Project & structured the same.
    2. Allocated the Budjet for WBS Elements.
    3. Released the project.
    4. The PRs are created for material and external services.
    5. When I check in the report S_ALR_87013558 the commitments are not showing in the report.
    6. After I performed the PO & GR (the PO value is more than the budget), still it is not producing any error message.
    7. I have even consumed the material, for which the cost is more than the budget, still there is no error message from the system.
    8 . I tried to perform transfer posting of the material from other plant or initial posting of the goods using 561 Q, at that time the system is producing the error message.
    9. When I check the above report after GR & GI the actual line items are showing.
    The problem is that why system is not creating the commitment line items.
    In customization I have maintained as below:
    1. Budget profile
    2. Assigned the Budget profile to Project profile.
    3. Maintained the tolerance limits for the controlling area and budget profile combination.
    4. I have created the B/S G/L accounts as cost elements with category 90 (statistical).
    5. AVAC for the WBS elements is active for the WBS elements
    My doubt is:
    Why system is not writing commitment line items?
    Even after writing the Actual line items why the error message is not produced?
    I am understanding that since the GR from PO is being done, probably this GR is not producing the error message as it is linked with the PO commitment. But at the time of GI the error message should be produced.
    Can any one help me for solving this issue?
    I tried searching the forum before posing, but couldnot get a relevant one.
    Regards,
    Praveen

    Dear Nitin,
    Yes I have checked it and the commitment management is active.
    I also checked the table RPSCO table as well, there is no entried with the value key 21 or 22, the entires are available with 41  only for my project.
    Also, I was maitaining the WBS element in a maintenance order. When I am trying to enter the materials in componenet tab, if the value is exceeding the budget value it is producing the error message.

  • PSM-FM Commitment Carryforward

    Dear Experts,
    I have a problem when performing commitment carryforward.
    I am using Funds to represent each quarter of a year, this object is derived in FMDERIVE by posting date.
    When performing commitment carryforward I need to change the fund assigned to the commitments for a new one.
    I'm already using the derivation strategy for reclassification. But, when performing commitment carryforward I get an error message because this strategy is not consistent with FMDERIVE.
    Can you help me solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,

  • Commitment and Payment budget

    Hi,
    I want to have control over my commitments and payments. Is it possible to maintain both commitment and payment budget separately?
    Moderator: Yes, it depends on the Update Profile. Please, read help.sap.com material for PSM-FM

    Example of payment budget
    Use update profile 101 and you will have a payment budget. this means:
    earmarked funds (reservations, precom, com) are updated in the FM ledger payment budget
    real (invoice and payments) are also updated in FM ledger payment budget. Attention. if you are in release before 5.0 you have to run RFFMS200 program in order to see the invoices paid. In ECC 6.0 it is online if you are a new FM customer.
    Via MM   PR, PO, GR, invoices MIRO and payments are also updated in FM ledger payment budget
    Example of parallel ledgers commitment budget and payment budget
    You can not use only commitment budget ledger if you want to see your real invoices and payments
    Some clients like EU and others use separate FM ledgers. Then you have to enter twice data in the two ledgers.
    Then they use update profile for this like 500 or 350(please check).
    Commitments (earmarked funds and PR, PO) update the ledger commitment budget and invoices and payments are updated in ledger commitment budget.
    Hope this is a litle bit clear.
    Before implementing FM it is important to ask what your client wants and ask if you don't know the best update profile to use to SAP AG

  • Difference between Former budgeting and Budget Control System.

    Dear experts,
    I am looking for a document/guide which can explain the salient feature of BCS and how the same is more beneficial compared to Former budgeting.
    Additionally, help is also sought on how to migrate from former budgeting to BCS upon upgrade in ECC 6.0?
    Thanks in advance.
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    You can follow this link.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a6/17f53b9f150248e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
    It explains clearly the benefits of BCS as well as migration tools that SAP provides. If you do not have some non-standard enehancements in your Former Budgeting, then migration won't be a problem.
