Commitment vs. Consumption for a PO

Question

Hi,
Our scenario: ECC 6, Update profile 102, SRM 7.0., FY - July through June, AVC - warnings only (no errors)
We are creating future dated POs, i.e., the commitment will be created in the next fiscal year based on delivery date on the PO (override update profile for PO). For a  small group of POs within this, there is a requirement that a part of the consumption for the blanket PO will take place in the current fiscal year.
For example:
Create a PO today with a delivery date of 08/01/2010 for $100k - this creates a commitment for 100k in the next fiscal year (period 2, FY 2011). Let us say in June an invoice is received and posted for 5000, then budget consumption happens in June (Period12, FY 2010).
This will cause a mismatch between the commitment and the budget consumption. Is there a way to fix this? Are there any user exits / badi that we can use to customize this requirement?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Mar, Eli or Minghong,
Please answer the question below if you can. It is related to the issue mentioned above, but is a slightly different question.
I am trying to understand how commitment and actuals are posted for a future dated PO. We have an override (of the update profile) in place for purchase orders, where in the delivery date is used for updating in FM.
So if i have a PO created with a delivery date of 9/1/2010, then the commitment is created in Sept 2010 (FM posting date as seen from the PO is in 9/2010). The budget consumption and actuals/commitment report match this - i.e., if i run the PO for FY10, this PO does not show up, but if I run the report for FY11, then the PO does show up in the report. So far so good.
a) When I post an invoice to the above PO in the current posting period and when I view the follow on funds management document, it shows the PO as being posted in the current period (May 2010).
b) However when I view the commitment (Environment -> AC commitment documents), the reduction is shown, but the FM posting date is blank.
c) Finally, when I look up the budget consumption report, commitments/actuals and FMAVCR01 reports, i can see the actual showing up only in the next fiscal year reports. Again, for the current fiscal year (the invoice posting date) in FM reports, I cannot see the actual posting.
Why is the data different between the FM reports and the funds management document (as seen from the invoice)? Is the invoice consuming the budget from the current period or in the future period? Can you please explain?
Thanks in advance,
PSM
