Exclude WBS Budget Checking in Funds Management

Dear SAP Community,
We have activate the Availability Control in PS module for line item posting using WBS element as cost object, and in FM module for line item posting using cost center as cost object.
Since the FM module active, for every posting, the system require assignment to funds center. Therefore, we assigned all WBS elements into one Funds Center called WBSDUMMY.
Our requirement for a project is to have budget checking in WBS element level.
Our current settings already exclude WBSDUMMY funds center assigned to FM Budget Profile in "Availability Control: Specific Tolerances". But, for every posting that use WBS element as its cost object, warning message of "Payment Budget Exceeded" in funds center WBSDUMMY always appeared.
Is there any way to avoid the budget checking of WBS in FM module?
Can we create the FM Budget Profile without warning/error message and assigned it to WBSDUMMY funds center? If yes, is there anyone can help me on the specific settings? Since I can't found the configuration/settings to define availability control action besides the SAP standards.
Appreciate your input
Thank you and best regards,
Fitria

So in other words, you want to suppress the budget message received whenever the fund center = WBSDUMMY?
If so, then I would suggest trying this...
Create a tolerance profile to be used solely for the WBSDUMMY fund center.
The tolerance profile would be something like this...
Tolerance profile name = DWBS (for example)
Ceiling type = Expenditures, Activity group = ++, Order = 1, click the Inactive setting ", Message type = Information, Usage = 999.00
Then set up a derivation strategy for tolerance profiles (FMAVCDERITPROF) solely for the WBSDUMMY fund center that basically says when the fund center = WBSDUMMY, then derive tolerance profile DWBS...
Derivation type = Assignment, Definition tab constant = DWBS, Target field = TOLPROF
Condition = ACO_ADDRESS RFUNDSCTR (fund center) = WBSDUMMY
So when the fund center is WBSDUMMY, the tolerance profile DWBS is derived, and the entry in the tolerance profile is inactive, therefore no warning or information message is received. The key is that the entry in the tolerance profile is inactive.

How to release the budget in SAP Funds Management

Hi
How to release the budget in SAP Funds Management. Please let me know the proceedure and the transaction code
Tks

Hi,
The answer depends on if you are using Former Budgeting or BCS.
1) If you are using Former Budgeting:
a. You should use transaction FR51 to enter Release or FR55 to distribute it.
2) If you are using BCS:
a. Within FMBBC transaction you have the option to release the budget, use document type as REL (release).
b. You can activate the automatic release for each budget profile in Customizing of Funds Management Government. To do this, in IMG select Funds Management Government ® Budgeting and Availability Control (Former Budgeting) ® Budget Profiles (Former Budgeting) ® Set Up Budget Profiles.
With the automatic release, the corresponding background releases for expenditures FM account assignments with budget transfers are also posted. Take note that the maximum amount that this automated release can transfer from the sender is the amount that has already been released.
If you do not activate the automated release, the maximum amount that can be transferred from the sender is that which has not yet been released.
c. You can use the mass transaction for release, which is FMMPRELE.
I hope that this answer your inquiry.
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.

Budget Posting and Funds Management

Hi,
Can some one tell me how I can setup a budget in a fund? I currently can create a fund and then when I try to do a budget posting update w/exp BPUE, it will not allow me to enter a posting amount.
So I can create a budget posting, but when I save it, I get and error asking to provide a posting amount. The problem is the posting amount field is greyed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Maz,
In BCS, you create a plan structure each year like 2008, 2009, 2010 and you create budget adresses in the 2008 plan structure and posting adresses in 2008 plan structure
Budget adresses are saved in the ledger 9F and posting adresses are saved in the ledger 9A and AVC in ledger 9H
When you create budget and posting adresses in plan structure this means that only thoses combinations Funds, Funds center, commitment item will have budget in FMBB and will be used in earmarked funds and real postings like 9A
Simply if budget adress is not created you acn not enter a budget in 9F table FMBDT
If posting adress is not created you can not for example create a funds commitment with FMZ1. any way to update the table FMIOI or impossible to create an invoice with FB60 referencing the funds commit in order to update the table FMIFIIT
AT closing you copy the different budget adresses and the posting adresses in the next plan structure for example 2009. There is a tcode for that.
I hope i have been clear

Exclude budget update in Funds Management for particular FI document type

HI FM gurus !!
We have an issue in FM .We do the service entry for Transporters for the whole years charges at one time . ( for some reason it cant be done for the month) So we have to pass the FI entry for the Prepaid Expenses. But when we do this entry in FI corresponding effect goes in FM and the Budget for this committment item gets INCREASED. THIS WE DONT WANT since this temperorily available budget may get used for other things. This is the background .
so All we would like to do is to prevent the budget update in FM for this Prepaid entry. How can we do this ? is there any config or BADI ?
PLEASE ADVICE

Payment Budget Exceeded in Funds Management Error BP629

Hi All
I am facing the Below error while doing the FB50 transaction.
"Item 002 20020001 /EXPENDITURE payment budget exceeded"
I have created the commitment item "Expenditure" to post the expenses to the budget.
I have made the budget entry into the system for Expenditure as well as Revenue Commitment Item.
I am able to post revenue posting successfully with FB50 transaction through revenue commitment item but facing the above error for expenditure commitment item.
Regards,
Dimpesh Ray

Hi Dimpesh,
Check whether the budget has been released (consumable) if you have made budget release setting in FM . If you have defined consumable budget types in Customizing, only these budget types will be considered as "releasable" budget.

DPRs and DPs are reducing the commitments creatd by POs in Funds Management

In Funds Management, Purchase orders are creating commitments. Then Down payment requests and Down payments are created against these purchase orders. Hence, these Down payment requests and Down payments are reflected in the Purchase order history. But these down payments and down payment requests created with reference to Purchase Orders are reducing the commitments created by the Purchase orders in Funds Management. The business requirement is that only GR should be reducing the commitment and then consuming the budget. Down payment requests and Down payments should not have any impact on the commitment created by Purchase orders. How to do this ?

Hi,
Please, refer to this Re: How to exclude value types 58 and 61 from Budget check in Funds Management

Validation rule in Funds management.

Dear Friends,
We use commitment items to monitor the budgets with overall budget for budget type Payment budget
In some cases, users are posting some adjustment entries to transfer the consumed budget values from one commitment item to another.
Ex:
Original Entry: Expenses incurred 1000, So entry booked with PK40, 123456 (expense GL), amt 1000, and commitment item ABC.
So at a later stage they came to know that they have used a wrong commitment item for the above document.(Correct CI would have been DEF)
So they are posting an adjustment entry like
PK40 GL123456 amt 1000 CI DEF
PK50 GL123456 amt 1000 CI ABC
So when i check the funds management doc for the above doc, FM uses VALUE TYPE 66 to do the transfer postings to commitment items, since these documents are giving wrong impact on my CI overall balances report FMRP_RFFMTO31X - Overall Budget -> Totals Records .
For the debit commitment item, it is not adding that amount in invoice column of above report, but it is comsuming the budget. So there is a mismatch in my total record for the debited commitment item.
For the credti commitment item, it is not deducting that amount in invoice column of above report, but it is increasing the budget. So there is a mismatch in my total record for the credited commitment item.
(Ex: Total budget-invoices-open items = Available budget) This is not happening at all
So i tried to restrict these kind of postings with a validation in FM like
Prerequisite: BPJA_VALID-FIKRS = 'AE69' (AE69 is my FM area)
Check: BPJA_VALID-WRTTP < > '66'
Message: Error message.
And activated the same in SPRO->PSM->FMG->Budgeting and Avl Control (Former Budgeting)->Budgeting (Former Budgeting)->Validation rules->Activate Funds Management Validation----
But still i am able to post those kind of documents.
Is there any other workaround for this restriction or can only be restricted by a validation?
Please corret me if i am wrong in validation condition expressions.
Thanks,
Srinu

Hi,
Actually we are using a Z program, which is copied from standard program as said earlier.
In the z program, we made some conditions to treat value type 66 also as like 54.
Now we are getting our report as expected.
Thanks,
Srinu...

Travel Management & Funds Management integration

Hello Experts,
During creation of a travel request & when I am entering amount in "Estimated Costs" field, I am getting an error message as "Error creating commitment: Trip status has been set to 'open'. Message no. PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE098". This is due to Funds Management activation by the FICO team. My client requires budget check in Travel Management.
From my side I have created an expense type with details like:-
Short name: for example, Estimated Costs
○ Travel Expense Category: Other
○ Amounts are: Estimated Costs, No Reimbursement to Employee
Do I need to maintain symbolic & G/L for the same? Is there any other config I am missing.
Please help to solve the issue.
Regards,
Daniel

Can you check for config in V_T706B1 for Estimated Costs with name should be ESTC
you need to change it ESTC.
If you have activated the integration to funds management, the system tries to create a commitment for the entered estimated cost. For this it is necessary, as the error message says, to create an expense type for the estimated cost in V_T706B1 with the use 'Estimated Cost'.
This expense type is then inserted in the trip and later on, when your create the expense report, you are forced to delete this
expense type again.
If you have the funds management active, you need to go to maintainance view V_T706B1 and create an expense type for which you choose out of the 'special use' drop down box the value 'extimated cost, no reimbursement'.
This was new functionality with ERP2005 but this is unusual as almost all PTRA_WEB_INTERFACE174 or error messages as you see are the result of incorrect definition of estimated cost in V_T706B1 - is there an entry for this in V_T706B4 by any chance that would cause the inconsistency?
Hope this could help!
Thanks

MB21 is MM reservation. This kind of transaction has no impact on FM tables, but you can achieve this by activating a business function (see note 1321375).

Authorization restriction in Funds Management

Hi all,
We have a requirement from the client to restrict budget execution in Funds management.
Business case: A user from a particular organization/agency should be able to transfer funds within his organization and should be restricted from using other agency funds.
We are planning to use authorization groups while defining the FM master data (funds, fund centers, funded programs). Later, we use these authorization groups while creating derived roles (organization/agency specific). So when the user performs activity in FMBB, he will get an authorization error if he tries to use funds that he is not authorized for.
As there could be 1000s of fund centers, maintaining them using authorization groups could be cumbersome.
I would like to know if any of you have implemented security in FM using fund center groups/ hierachy structure instead of using authorization groups.
Appreciate your suggestions and inputs ..
Thanks
Kee

Hi Kee,
I can understand your concerning about the number of funds center but in the authorization roles you will use ONLY the authorization groups not each fund center, so the maintenance will be easier.
You will not maintain each fund center in the rule, but if necessary the creation of a new authorization group or deletion of one. Because the change of one authorization group (which means more or less fund centers) will be done in master data, in the authorization part will be ok already.
The principal object will be F_FICA_FSG which is the authorization group for the funds center, so I am not sure what do you mean about maintenance, because if defined as per the business process, it will not change so much because it will be in the group level not in fund center.
Thinking about your question:
"If we follow an intelligent naming standards for fund centers and determine the hierchacal structure, can we use the fund center/fund names directly in auth objects instead of using authorization groups?"
Create authorization objects with funds center directly not using authorization groups, I did this many times in previous releases (from 3.0F to 4.0B) when I implement PSM-FM and I think that authorization groups will reduce the maintenance in an important way. The most huge maintenance is doing in this way that you are thinking about use funds center directly.
For example, if you have ?.000 funds center grouped in ?00 authorization groups and of course some of the users will have more than one authorization group and one rule will have more than one authorization group right? This will be for sure a number lower than the quantity of funds center.
Be aware that I am focusing only in authorization regarding FMBB like you mentioned in the beginning. This means authorizations to manage budget in the company, nothing else.
Therefore, it will be not so much different roles with authorizations. I am quite sure that your customer will not allow a great number of users to increase/decrease budget. You should consider this too in your analysis.
You will need to create roles in PFCG for your authorizations and of course each role will have a combination of authorization objects (reports, master data, budgeting postings, actual and commitment postings). This is a matrix that needs to be detailed and clarified with the customer needs.
I am not sure if I could help more, kindly inform if I am going in the wrong direction
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.

Budget check at service entry sheet release in funds management

Dear Forum,
We implemented the funds management recently we have the requirement like below
Generally in FM at the time of service Purchase order creation system will consume the budget and at the time of service entry sheet release the consumed budget in the purchase order level will adjust. Now the business requirement is that they don’t want to check the budget at service purchase order level but they want budget check at service entry sheet level.
This is the case only for service PO’s.
If anyone have same scenario please share your views.
Regards,
Ravi.

Maybe you can try having the account assignment 'U' in the service PO which will then allow you only to enter the account assignment only in the service entry sheet for budget checking.
