Error Message FMBAS202 Year of cash effectivity mandatory for budget cat 9G

Question

Hi all,
I activated BCS and use update profile 000350 (Separate PB/CB budget lines; standard), we tried to post simple FI posting and the error come up
==============================================================
Year of cash effectivity mandatory for budget category 9G
Message no. FMBAS202
Diagnosis
The FM update profile does not support the year of cash effectivity for commitment/actual values (posting ledger 9B). However, the year of cash effectivity is mandatory in BCS budgeting for budget category 9G and FM area 0100: the minimum value in this case is 2009.
System Response
Processing of the commitment/actual data record stops.
Procedure
Deactivate the year of cash effectivity for the corresponding budget category 9G and FM area 0100 in the IMG activity Choose Budget Category.
===============================================================
So I click the link and it goes to Define Budget Category screen where we assign budget category (9G) and time horizon (1) to a FM area, but not mention of deactivating year of cash activity.
My question is:
1. Where is the button to deactivate the year of cash effectivity?
2. What's the difference between budget category 9B and 9G? Both are Commitment Budget.
3. I dont remember assigning budget category 9B to an FM area. Where is the setting?
Thanks

Hi,
When you go to IMG - Public Sector Management - Funds Management Government - Budget Control System (BCS) - BCS Budgeting - Basic Settings - Definition of Budget Data - Choose Budget Category, what's the settings for 'Time horizon' field? It should be blank for 9G(commitment), if you don't work with cash effectivity.
9B is posting ledger, while 9G is budget ledger. You don't have to assign 9A/9B to FM area.
