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

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.

I've create commitment item master (FMCIA) without "Standard Variant" field flaging. When I display commitment item heirarchy (FMCIE) the commitment item is under my Standard Hierarchy.
I reviewed in table "FMCI" and found that field Standard Variant (STVAR) is flagged "X". Is this mean all Commitment Item Master Data will be automatically flaged the Standard Variant field?
From my experience, all Commitment Item should be flagged to be position under the standard variant. I tried create Commitment Item Master in the client that the Standard Variant indicator filed appeard by un flag that field. There is the error Message no. F6160 (You can only maintain postable cmmt items in standard var. xxx).
Are there any case that the standard variant field in Commitment Item master should not be flagged, and let that commitment item out from Standard Variant ?
Is this related to the configuration that I set for Year Independent Master Data?

so culd u pls let me knw whr exactly i have to enter this details for commitment item.
Thanks a lot..

Hi,
This is due to lack of budget against the concerned item. Check the same against the commitment item as per the valuation class assigned for the item.This can be viewed in TCode FMRP_2FMB4002 .Ask your FI team for allocation of budget.

How to swap between to sets of item categories in sales order

Hi,
We receive Idocs from a different system that creates sales order in the R/3 system. For some of these, we want to be able to use an alternative sourcing mode - basically switch between standard POs and 3rd Party POs. The orders has many items, and we find it impractical to manually update all items - also because the order might contain different materials with maybe 5-10 different item categories, that needs to be changed to 5-10 others. This will be very difficult for our business users, since we do not have a simple naming convention of item categories to ease this.
So we are looking for alternative ways, where we can change all items by changing on header level.
We have thought of these alternatives :
1. Change distribution channel. Requires all materials and customers to be set up in 2 DCs - not realistically.
2. Change sales order types using VOV8 alternatives. This seems not to be allowed for materials in BOMs and with E consumption. See other thread named "Can not change SO order type - disallowed by item settings" for more details.
3. What we we really need is changes on schedule line level, and I suppose we could have a logic in MV45AFZZ change this dependent on some user field. But I don't think this will work, as other settings controlled by requirement class etc. will be inconsistent.
Proposals for this are welcome - it should be a common issue.

Hi,
We ended up designing a solution where item category was swapped by shipping condition. For shipping condition 11, we simulated that a specific 'usage' was active. It required a few tricks to get the Source determination to run, and a further trick to avoid a re-pricing B to nuke the pricing conditions. This is still draft code, but it seems to work :

Error in Posting Service Entry Sheet - FI 311 No Commitment Item in Item 1

Dear All,
We need a suggestion/solution for the following problem :-
Our customer had raised purchase orders for services in may 2010. The following critical entries were made in the purchase order.
Account Assignment Category was P-Project
The WBS element was entered as the Accounts Assigment Category was P.
The user was entering uncoded services. Hence the material group for that service which had G/L a/c tagged to it was entered. But the G/l code was not populated in the purchase order by the system at that time of creation of purchase order and subsequently the user was able to save and release purchase order.
The user was able to post Service Entry Sheet and generate accounting entries in june 2010.
Additional service entry sheets are required to be posted for the remaining quantites. The client has urcated the SES process into two parts.
1. Through T-code ZML81N the end user is able to create and save the SES.
2. Through T-code ML81N the Head of Department is able to approve and post the SES which results in generating of accounting entries.
Presently the user is able to create SES with tcode ZML81N. But when the HOD tries to approve and post the ses we get the error.
FI 311 - No commitement item maintained in Item 0001 in P220 (company code).
Fund Management is active in this company code and all settings related to Funds Management and FI have been checked by respective consultants.
The end user is not having any problems in processing SES for current Pos. But he is not able to create SES for the POs created in May, 2010 for which the user has already created and posted more than one SES against the same POs.
We have already escalated it to SAP.
Thanks in advance
Anil Shanbhag

Hi,
Use T.code:FS00 and check G/L account 280000 is there in your company code or not.
If yes, check its nature(type/description,control data , cretae bank/intererst tabs)of G/L
NOTE: Also check and compare the field selection between Movement type 101 & your G/L account 280000 in SE38 t.code with Program RM07CUFA

Open Purchase order can we maintain commitment item for the year

hi
my requirement is for the year open purchase orders we need to maintain commitment item previously it was not maintain from this year we need to maintain is it posssible

Hi
If your PO has an IO or WBS or a Cost center maintained in it - Run the Program RKANBU01 in SE38 and it will push all the past data of commitments into the CO objects
You need to activate Commitment management in OKKP as well as in IO Type... If IO was created w/o the tick ON, then I believe you dont have a choice here..

For the component we can find the table RESB.
But i am getting the difficult to find the data related to Operation (services)
In my client we can able to see PM orders with activity types and SKF
How can build the logic to find the values for each operation item and its commitments (PO, PR) and actual that is FI documents
Please guide me the TABLES and fields or else give me the hints, how can find the tables
Thanks and Regards,

Reassignment of commitment items & fund centers in open PR, PO & MIGO docs

Hi
We are using Fund Management (BCS) in our system since last one year. Now starting from next fiscal year ( 01.04.2009) we want to replace some of the existing fund centers and commitment items with either newly created fund centers & commitment items or existing ones. We will be changing FM derivation strategy too.
How should one go about it? Whats should be the strategy and procedure for replacing the commitment items & fund centers in open PR, POs & other open document. I know there is option of reassignment of fund centers and commitment items using reassignment derivation strategy. But I am not clear about the steps involved and strategy one should use while doing so.
Pawan

Hello Pawan,
You can also combine reassignment with closing operations (Carryforward with reassignment)
Pls check the link, under 'Closing Operations -> Derivation Strategy for Reassignments with Closing Operations'
By doing so, you can carry forward for example open PO's assigned to given account assingment in 2008 to a new account assignment in 2009
Reassignment programs RFFMCHAN and RFFMCHAT are normally used when Wrongly assigned documents or changes in the responsibility areas of the functional assignment necessitate account assignment changes within the year, or when PSM-FM is implemented later than other components.
I hope this will help
Kind regards

GR/IR Account with Wrong Commitment Item

Dear Experts,
When we doing GR(MIGO), system is not deriving the commitment item from FMDerive, istead taking the commitment item from offsetting GL entry. Is it common behavior? If not, how to force GR act derived into right commitment item which its category (40/3). Please kindly advise. Thank you.

Hi kkbdsp,
My issue is this GR account is never derived from FMDerive. And i searched in forum, this is common behavior in SAP like Ming Hong post below :
" What you described is a SAP standard behavior. For GR/IR account, system ignores whatever settings you made in FMDERIVE. FM account assignment is inherited from the PO. For example your consumption PO has expense account 456 with CI 456, Fund and FC; your GR/IR account is 123 with CI 123.
GR posting:
DR 456 with CI 456/Fund/FC
CR 123 with CI 456/Fund/FC
IR posting:
DR 123 with CI 456/Fund/FC
CR Vendor
Regards,
Ming
And my concern are :
- I am just wondering why do we need to make CI setting for GR/IR with category 40/30?
- if GR act is always derived from its offseting acct (expense acct 30/3), why then SAP give error message "GR reduction impossible. Wrong CI with FT 30 instead of 40 in GR/IR acct"?
Please kindly advise. Thanks.

Incorrect Commitment item derived for GR/IR for service orders

Hi Guys
We are currently on support pack 14, release 200 of EA-PS. I'm experiencing problems in with FM account assignment derivation. Especially with regards to service entry sheets.
The system is deriving account assignments well from goods reciepts to invoice reciept stage. The problem kicks in when clearing GR/IR - clearing using transaction code MR11. The system derives the expenditure commitment item using the GR/IR account in FI. I created assignments for my commitment items to be derived from G/L accounts as there is a one to one relationship between my G/L account and commitment item.
This condition results in a debit and credit entry being posted to the same commitment item in one transaction. I would expect only one item to be posted to the expense commitment item as it is the only one in the two line document whose financial transaction field set to 30. The GR/IR commitment's financial field is set to 40.
Regards
Thuso Mudau.

Hi,
First thing I's do is to activate the FMDERIVE trace and see what is this commitment item derived from.
See what GL accounts are posted in the financial doc, and have a look at the log to see if the commitment item is derived directly from those acocunts.
Let me know the results...

Scheduling Agreement Item not reflected as commitment item in CO

HI SAP MM Gurus,
Good day!
Here is my scenario:
We need to create scheduling agreements with Account Assignment F which needs to have the commitment items reflected upon creation of the delivery schedule. This works ok if I create the documents (Scheduling Agreement and Delivery Schedule) manually, with the field EKPO-XOBLR being set to X to have the items pass through to CO
The problem is, due to the volume of documents processed, we need to create an upload program using the function module BAPI_SAG_CREATE. Upon observation, this does not update the commitments for the shceduling agreement items even though both the scheduling agreement and delivery schedule were created.
Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?
Kind regards,
DeLo

Are u sure the transaction code is ME33L, contracts use ME33K
Now this is tricky.
One way of finding the condition table used is (working backwards)...
go to table KONH
in the field VAKEY enter your contract(10 chars as in EKKO/EKPO w/ leading zeroes or trailing spaces) and contract line(5 chars w/ leading zeroes).
look at KVEWE (A in my case) and KOTABNR (16 in my case) used now join the two (A016 add the zero in between) now this is the condition table.
working forward.
if the condition table is A016
Get A016-KNUMH from A016
A016-KAPPL = 'M'
A016-KSCHL = 'PB00' (condition you are looking for)
A016-EVRTN = Your Contract Number
A016-EVRTP = Your Contract Line Number
Select DATAB (Validity Start Date), DATBI (Validity End Date) from KONH
where KNUMH EQ A016-KNUMH
Cheers!

Commitment Item Error in MB1C

Dear Guru,
I am getting error while I am doing initial upload via MB1C.
Error is:
No commitment item entered in item 00000 1000 399999
Please help,
Swapnil

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.
If you are practicing in the IDES system and dont have an idea about this commitment item ,
you can go to OKKP & deactivate commitment management there in activate components.

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.
