  • 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.

  • 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.

    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,

  • 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.

    We are  implementing dispute management  in SAP 5.0 . When we create dispute case in FBL5n tx, a error message appears
        “A dispute case must always contain at least one receivable. For example, 
        you cannot inlcude only credit memos or partial payments in a

    Does exists alternative solution?

    Special Gl ledger is also called as alternative recon a/c.
    This is linked to Recon a/c of  cusomer or vendor
    This Spl gl is used for Down paymet(Advance) from cusomers or for vendors and Bill of Exachange etc.
    Whenver invoce raised then the Spl gl balence is transferd aginst such invoice to normal a/c.
    In Bills of Exchange when the bill is honoured then it clears the bank liability.
    Assign points if usefull.

  • Automatically creating startup items with a new account

    I'm managing some Macs on an Active Directory network. They're all tied in and working fine as AD connected computers, but as an administrator of these Macs I'd like to make it so that when a user logs in to the domain, the Mac automatically adds some startup items to their account. (We don't have network home directories or anything like that) Is there some way I can setup an AppleScript or some default settings somewhere to handle this?

    the answer might depend on whether you are creating the accounts or allowing the users to create their own. I would think it shoudl be possible to create an AppleScript or an Automator job that woudl prompt for the correct information and the create the new user and copy the necessary file(s) and make the necessary settings.

  • Mass chnage Commitment Item in GL account FS00

    Hi,
      I wan to add commitment items for GL account  there are 1000 GL accounts for each 250  we have different commitment items  is it possible to do mass change  without BDC, can i use OB_GLACC12 but i have not found the filed commitment items for chnaging the parameters.
    regards,
    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

    Coding to check AFAB tcode to derive the committment item. It's not work
    if sy-tcode+0(4) = 'AFAB'.
        if I_FMDERIVE_SOURCE-account_number = 'xxx'.
          e_fmderive_target-commit_item = 'xxx'.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    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:

  • 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

  • Commitment item error at the time of Service entry Sheet

    Hi experts,
    I have created a service PO, in which I have given the GL. Now when I am going to post the service entry sheet, I am changing the GL account. But system is picking the commitment item with reference to the GL earlier provided in PO.
    I want to pick the commitment item with reference to the GL I am providing in service entry sheet.
    Pl suggest how can I achieve this.
    Regards,
    Ankit Agarwal

    Hi Eli,
    Thanx for your response.
    But derivation rule is same for all GL. Whether we put GL in PO or in Service entry sheet, system will derive the commitment item from the same single rule.
