Define the commitment item as a document splitting characteristic.

Hi, All. I need your thoughts to solve this error message.
When I was trying to deactivate document splitting for a company code, the below error message came up.
"Define the commitment item as a document splitting characteristic."
I was in Deactivation per company code and tried to deselect the box of "inactivate." When I hit "save", this message came up. I am not sure where I should look in order to fix this.
I appreciate your kind help. Thank you!

Commitment Item missing in SPL splitting

When posting a FI document using doc type SB for a cost transfer, I post Dr 6100.EOR LOA1 and Cr 6100.EOR LOA2 to correct the Line of Accounting. In SPL, I get Dr. 6100.EOR LOA1/ Cr. 6100.EOR LOA2/ Dr. 1010.9000 LOA2/ Cr 1010.9000 LOA1, but the 1010.9000 postings did not have the commitment items filled, they are blank.
When I do a reversal via FB08 on the SB document, I get the error msg: "Budget object commitment item is blank. posting not allowed."
Am I missing something in config? How do I get the additional lines in SPL with the CI populated?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

FMMPRELE - have error - FMKU135: The commitment item category is wrong

Hello,
In current project we use BCS and SAP ECC 6.0.
We also use auto-release function in FMBB when entering budget documents (plan).
I want to reduce the plan value and use FMMPRELE transaction for it. In message log i have the following error:
The commitment item category is wrong
Message no. FMKU135
Diagnosis
The commitment item category entered is not correct.
Procedure
Check how the commitment item category is filled by your application. Notify your system administrator in case of problems.
The commitment item category (FMCIA) is 3 - Expenditures. I don't know why SAP doesn't like this commitment item category because this category is selected in "selection of FM Account Assignments". Have any the same problems with FMMPRELE?

Thank's a lot
solved!

How to Get Choices as a Dropdown from a different Column for the same Item In a Document Library?

Hello All,
I was trying to see if there is any way that we can get the choices for a Field from another filed in the same item in a Document Library.
To be specific.
I have Created a Project Document Set, Which has a Column called "Project Members" where all the members will be listed. This will be inherited to all the documents in that Project Document Set. This is used to grant Permission using Workflow.
I also have "Document Members" Column(This is only for Documents) who will be given Edit permissions to that Document using a Workflow. This can be any type of column(choice, People or Group etc) As long as I can select multiple values.
I am looking for a way to get the "Project Members"(Values or Users) as choices for "Document Members". I know this is possible in the List as you can customize in the InfoPath Form. But not sure in the Document Library.
Document Members can only be the members from the Project Members, In order to grant granular Permissions for the project And Documents using a Workflow
Document Library
Project Document Set Name
File Name
Project Members
Document Members
Project A
User1;User2;User3

No. A value set and a supply function are two completely different things. You use this Context API to populate the value set for an attribute:
IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO=>SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET
Value Sets are also how ByKey UI elements (like the DropDownByKey) are built. Here is a help document that discusses value sets - but in the context of the ByKey UI elements. The process is the same for creating the value set however:

Using the WS adapter you can configure the communication of systems, which communicate with each other using the Web service runtime either directly (point-to-point) or using the Integration Server

Message no. FMKU135, The commitment item category is not correct

Dear experts,
I'm trying to chek how budget release works in BCS. When I run transaction FMMPRELE, the message in the title appears.
The commitment items in the message log are with category "3" - expenditure. What can be wrong with that?
If you have any idea, please share.
Thanks in advance,
Toni

Hi

Doesn't allow us to change the commitment item in ME21N/ME22N

Hi,
We have prepared Po for Stock transfer Order by using Item Category I, without PR. While making Po we have two line items... 1st line item the material is DMFRL1023 (Raw Material) & 2nd line item is DMFRC1051 (Raw Material). In Material DMFRL1023 itu2019s allowing to change the Commitment Item but in 2nd line item it doesnu2019t allow to change the commitment item. The Valuation Class & VC: Sales order stk in both materials is same. The Gl which is attached in BSX transaction key in obyc is XXXXXX. And the same GL appears when we do the entry in new po against two materials because we have created Commitment item same no as GL which is non budgetable. But in Material DMFRL1023 it give us to change & for Material DMFRC1051 it doesnu2019t allow us to change the commitment item. If we changed that it will take previous commitment item (Default one). There is no purchase Order history against both line item
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance

Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
The way that commitment items are derived by transaction FMDERIVE can be the answer for your inquiry.
I will explain to you in detail how to use the trace tool.
Normally the derivation strategies are called at posting time several times. Please turn the trace of FMDERIVE On, as explained in SAP note 666322 (download the note in service marketplace). If you enter in transaction FMDERIVE you will see the trace button (a truck) were you click on activate.
This is a customer tool where you can analyze the derivation log and find out how the Account Assignment objects are determined (values after and before the derivation process).
Please do the following:
a. Enter in FMDERIVE and activate the Trace
b. Test again your issue in ME21N/ME22N.
c. You will receive FMDERIVE trace screen with the values of account assignments. Probably you will receive more than one time this screen. If you see that the value is correct go to the next step clicking on button "X".
Whenever you find that the value is incorrect (or empty), please do the following:
d. In the FMDERIVE pop-up screen click on button "Display Log". When you click there you will see another screen.
e. There, Go to Menu Goto -> Display Print Template
f. Click on both folders to open the tree.
In the first one you will see the Values after and Before.
In the second one (Steps), you are able to see WHERE exactly was the change, what was happening during the execution of derivation rules, the RULES that it is in use in that step.
All the derivation rules which are in use during the process will be marked with yellow line.
If you check the trace log and the 'value after' is not correct, you should adjust your existing derivation rule.
If you find out that a derivation rule is responsible for the different behaviour on commitment item changes in MM transactions, I suggest you to find out the derivation rule and then adjust the target field settings.
For this, please enter in the derivation rule -> Definition Tab, double click in the name of your Target Field (bottom part of the screen).
There you will find the fields:
( ) Do not overwrite if Fld Already Filled
( ) Overwrite with new value
( ) Overwrite with new value if new value is not empty.
You should choose the most appropriate option for your business scenario.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Open items migration for document splitting

Hi,
We have done document splitting in 2011, Now all open items before 2011 to be migrated into the new fiscal year (2011).
Please suggest us how to migrate all the open items into new GL with document splitting activated?
Eagerly waiting for the reply.
Thanking you in Adavnce,
Raghuvir

Hi Raghuvir,
There were critical reasons why the split of the open line items of prior years has not provided within the standard migration scenarios.
The structure and the account assignment information of the already posted documents from the prior years is probably does not satisfy the new document splitting. Therefore it is not possible to split the documents form phase 0 (migration cockpit) based on the new the splitting rules set in the customizing.
It is also too critical to allow a customer based split in the BAdI since it cannot be garanteed if the sum of split amounts in all the
currencies still equal the old amount. Furthermore it cannot be traced any more where the split amounts are coming from which would lead to a problems regarding the auditability of the new g/l migration.
The only possiblity that SAP can offer to the customers is to take over the split amounts from the already existing SL ledgers which have been used before the migration to new g/l.
I believe that this answer your inquiry. I am sorry that I cannot give you a more positive answer regarding your issue.
Kind Regards,
Vanessa.

U should not create new item categories. U have to use only available item categories
Item categories are intended for special procurements (consignment, subcontracting, stock transport etc and services ).

Blocking the Cleared items From Fi Documents

Hi ,
I am creating fi report . In my report i do not want to display cleared items . Can you tell me based which table and which field we can remove clearing documents .
In my customer balance report i want to remove the reversal entries of customer and cleared entires of customer . Can you tell me based on which field can i remove those documents .
Regards
Nandan.N

hi Srihari,
consider only open item tables , if u want to block cleared items.
Bsik : open item table for vendor related.
BSAK : Cleared item table for vendor.
similarly
bsid : open item table for customer
bsad : cleared item table for customer.
For developing customer ledger , i think u had to consider both open items and cleared items.
Its just like bank statement ( transactions both cleared and open ) .
If you developing outstanding report ,( balance repor) consider only bsid table.
Regards,
Hari priya

Deactivate document splitting for company code in IDES

Hi,
am not able to deactivate document splitting. When I try to deactivate and then save an error pop up show the message 'Define the commitment item as a document splitting characteristics ' .
The path for Deactivating the Doc splitting is
SPRO---Financial Accounting(New) --- GL Accounting(New) -Business transactions-- Document splitting -
Activate document splitting------ Double click on Deactivation per company code.
When i try in this path it will not allow me to save and it will not allow me to post any g/l entry also.
Please Advise.

I think the error is coming due to the other company codes for which document splitting is active. Because, when you save (after deactivating doc split for your company code), I guess the system is checking the properties for other company codes in the same screen for which doc split is not deactivated.
What document splitting characteristics do you have in your system? And what are the settings there? Check in SPRO -> Financial Accounting (New) -> GL Accounting (New) -> Business Transactions -> Document Splitting -> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for GL Accounting. My guess is there is nothing in there. Create (may be, PRCTR) as your document splitting characteristic, save, and then try deactivating doc split for your company code in the IMG node that you mentioned. Not sure if this is the reason, but no harm in trying!

Define the commitment item as a document splitting characteristic.
