Former Budgeting Support

Hi All!
Can anybody help? I'm looking for any sap note or official doc regarding support of Former Budgeting. I found some posting on scn that it was not supported (new development) in 2009 already but failed to find any official info from sap. We need to know to start planing our transfer process to BCS (Budget Control System).
Any info would be appreciated.
Thank a lot!
Sasha

Hi Sasha,
I don't think SAP have issued any official doc or SAP note regarding support for Former Budgeting.SAP is still giving support for former budgeting.
But you can check sap note 880858, in this note SAP says to use BCS for new customers.

  • Why upgrade from Former Budgeting to Budget Control System (BCS)

    Dear experts,
    My customer had upgraded his system to ECC6, and still uses the "Former Budgeting".
    I want the customer to consider implementing BCS instead.
    Please let me know where I can find the list of differences between FB and BCS, and the advantages of this act.
    Regards,
    Y.G.

    Hi Yaakov,
    You can look at this link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/7b/981b57da056c48904c8a9c0df67b51/frameset.htm
    Basically, the main advantage is more flexibility in availability control and key figures reporting. However, you should also consider the fact that Former Budgeting is not supported anymore by SAP in terms of developing new features; all the development is done now only in BCS.

    Hi,
    With no doubt go for BCS; former budgeting is not supported anymore by SAP (in terms of developing new features) and BCS is much more flexible and efficient in budget management.
    Here you can see the main differences (however there are more):

  • Former Budgeting Vs BCS

    Hi Guys,
    We have to configure the "Funds Management" Module for our client. What would you guys suggest we should opt for
    1. Former Budgeting
    2. Budget Control Systems
    Appreciate and value your suggestion and if some one has the latest documentaion available for BCS, can you please forward or atleast tell us where to look for it.
    Regards
    Saqib

    Hi Saqib,
    Please find below mentiones some important point wise comaprison of both BCS Vs budgeting.
    BCS:The functions in this component support budget planning, budget execution and allow you to monitor the availability of funds.The budget control system (BCS) in Funds Management is an alternative to former budgeting. BCS is designed to allow flexible customer-specific adjustments to all important functions. BCS is SAP’s strategic budgeting tool.
    Implementation Considerations:If you use the Grants Management component integrated with Funds Management, only BCS fulfills the prerequisites necessary for this. This also applies if you want to work with funded programs for the account assignment. The required FM account assignment elements Grant and Funded Program are only supported in BCS.
    SAP does not intend BCS and Former Budgeting to be used at the same time. Therefore, menu transactions, functions and the necessary Customizing are separate.
    If you want to use the budget control system as an operative budgeting tool in Funds Management, you must activate this in the Customizing of Funds Management, under Basic Settings->Activate Global Functions for Budget Control System ( BCS).
    Integration:All other FM master data is also supported in BCS, as well grant and funded program master data.
    BCS includes an integrated planning tool with basis functions for budget planning. If you want to use comprehensive budget planning, you can exchange data with SAP’s Strategic Enterprise Management.
    You can use BCS together with Position Budgeting and Control (PA-PM-PB).
    The Business Information Warehouse System (BW) is intended as a comprehensive reporting tool for the budget control system, starting from Release 3.0B. You can upload your BCS planning data from BW. BCS only works with Funds Management and Grants Management, not with other components that can also budget.
    Features: You can select the relevant FM account assignments as budget addresses and posting addresses from the entirety of the master data combinations, by using the functions of the Budget Structure.
    ·        Budget distribution and the assignment of posting addresses, budget addresses and availability control objects in BCS depends on the master data hierarchy, which you can define as you wish by using derivation strategies defined in Customizing.
    ·        Customer-definable budget types, entry document types and consistency checks in BCS Budgeting allow you to map the requests of your organization in the system.
    ·        Budget entry and budget update activities are based on documents and are logged in budget entry documents. You display and maintain these in the Budgeting Workbench.
    ·        Status Management allows you to subdivide the budget execution process in individual budgeting phases and define specific user roles through different authorization assignments.
    ·        The BCS Availability Control is a flexible tool that you can customize to monitor and compare budget values and commitment/actual values. This control allows you to use independent availability control checks simultaneously.
    Restrictions:The budget control system delivered with the Enterprise-Release (EA-PS 1.10) is new and will be enhanced with additional functions in following releases.Functions such as revenues increasing the budget and releases are supported with release EA-PS 2.00. SAP also provides support for migration from Former Budgeting to BCS.
    Note that BCS reporting functions are not designed for comprehensive management reporting. You must use the Business Information Warehouse system as of Release 3.0B. BCS is not intended for use by German Government customers.Because of the reasons given above, SAP recommends that you analyze your organization’s existing functions and requirements.
    Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

  • Outlook 2010 cannot provide form scripting support

    I have followed two workarounds and fixes for Office 2010 in  a terminal services environment.  One was to copy a .dll file to the terminal server and the other was to remove a registry entry.  Both workarounds fixed the problem temporarily,
    but it continues to show up.  When a user opens some email messages they receive a warning that "Microsoft Outlook cannot provide form scripting support. This feature is not available.  For more information, contact your system administrator."A+, MCP, MCSA, MCSE, Security+

    Here is what I did to enable VB scripting for Outlook 2010.
    1.     
    Determine the GUID for Office 2010.
    In the Registry, go to
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features. Search for
    “OutlookVBScript”. I found it at:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features\00004109110000000000000000F01FEC.
    In the Registry, for an x86 server go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products,
    or for an x64 server, go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\InstalledPackages (the first one)
    and select the key where you located “OutlookVBScript”.
    On my server, it is:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\00004109110000000000000000F01FEC
    When I select it, this is what I see:
    DisplayName “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010”
    InstallSource, ModifyPath and UninstallSring all show the Office 2010 GUID as
    {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
    2.     
    Install VBScripting for Outlook.
    My commands to install VBscripting for Outlook are therefore:
    change user /install
    msiexec /i {90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} ADDLOCAL=OutlookVBScript /qb
    change user /execute
    Note: After installing VBscripting for Outlook, “OutlookVBScript”at
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Features\00004109110000000000000000F01FEC changed its value from “OUTLOOKFiles”
    (where the box glyph at the beginning appears to be a minus or dash in the Registry editor) to “OUTLOOKFiles”.

  • Difference between Former budgeting and Budget Control System.

    Dear experts,
    I am looking for a document/guide which can explain the salient feature of BCS and how the same is more beneficial compared to Former budgeting.
    Additionally, help is also sought on how to migrate from former budgeting to BCS upon upgrade in ECC 6.0?
    Thanks in advance.
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    You can follow this link.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a6/17f53b9f150248e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
    It explains clearly the benefits of BCS as well as migration tools that SAP provides. If you do not have some non-standard enehancements in your Former Budgeting, then migration won't be a problem.

  • Migration from FB (Former Budgeting) to BCS - Commitments/Actuals

    Dear Experts,
    We are going to migrate our system from FB (Former Budgeting) to BCS, in the middle of the current year.
    The migration activities deal only with Budget data migration.   
    My question is:  How to migrate Commitments and Actuals ?   
    We use only Payment Budget
    Please advise
    Yaacov

    Dear Yaakov,
    Are you thoroughly clear on the concept and functionality of Budget Control System?
    Compared to FB, BCS provides changes to 2 main functionalities in PSM-FM:
    1, Budgeting/planning
    2, Availability Control (AVC)
    -> This means, that the processes / functionalities / technical details for commitments/actuals are not changed in any way by implementing / migrating BCS. 
    The BCS implementation changes the data structures for budgeting tables. That is why migration of data from old budget tables to new ones is needed (even this is not mandatory, if you choose to use old reports for old budget data). You can check budget table correspondency between FB and BCS here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/c3/2c344071c82b22e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    The main point is, that commitment/actuals data is not changed, and thus no migration for those is possible (or needed). The commitments remain to be updated in table FMIOI and actuals in table FMIT. You just need to use the new BCS reports to view for example budget consumption when BCS has been activated (for example report FMRP_RW_BUDCON).
    Also, you might want to consider if the migration of the old budget data is overall an absolutely mandatory requirement. Technically, you do not need to run any migration, but you can use old FB reports for previous fiscal years and just simply load only future budgeting data into the BCS. At my customer it was decided that no migration is needed, and we went successfully live with BCS withtout any issues. For past fiscal years they will be using FB reports.
    Best regards,
    Mikko

  • Does Forms Server support MDI ?

    Does Forms Server support mdi window?,
    though I set mdi window title it is not getting displayed (but it is getting displayed in client server mode). I also went through one of the help documents which says mdi is not supported in Forms Server. Can any one help me.

    If you move to Oracle9i Forms you also get new features in the builder including a new debugger, PJC support, Java Importer, Interruptable LOVs and loads more.

  • AVC in Former Budgeting in document chain

    Hi all,
    We are working on former budgeting in ECC 6.0, every setting for AVC have been completed, including condition u201CAlways checku201D in u201CMaintain Availability Controlu201D.
    We would like that the AVC executes in every activity of the document chain.
    e.g.: If we have a PR for 1,000 USD, when we are creating a PO for that PR, we need to check the budget only on that predecessor PR document.
    Desired scenario
    PR for USD 1,000
    The available budget is USD 5,000
    The user tries to create a PO for USD 1,200 with reference to that PR
    The system should issue an error message saying that there is an exceeding amount for USD 200
    Thanks in advance,
    Adriana

    Hi Adriana,
    This requirement has nothing to do with FM. FM checks availability on budget and not on the documents. You can consult your MM consultant to lock the possibility of opening PO on the bigger amount than PR. FM-AVC (former or BCS - does not matter) will check against 5,000 in your case; so with the PO in the sample the overall consumption would be 1,200 (still 3,800 available budget left).

  • Does Form Base Project budgeting support Budget Forecasting?

    Hello Expert,
    Can you please help me in understanding that does form base budgets in project costing support budget forecasting? if no then is that it can be achive only through Project Management?
    Your help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Uday

    Hi
    If you use the Forms for budgeting you can setup various budget types, like approved cost budget, proposal cost plan, funded revenue budget, forecast cost, etc...
    For each one of those types you have the same functionality, and budget entry is just keying in the quantities and amounts on the budget form. You could automate the calculation of burdened cost based on the entry of raw cost amount, or that based on quantity. Such automation is done using the budget client extension, and that extension is called immediately as you key in the line value.
    With Oracle Project Management (PJT) a new entity was introduced called Financial Plans. A financial plan type is an enhancement of a budget type. The entry of financial plan is done on HTML pages. You could set up financial plans for Firm annual budget, for forecast, for funded revenue etc. With PJT Oracle also delivered a concurrent program called Forecast. That program can generate the plan amounts and insert them on the financial plan defined as parameter. Such calculation functionality is not supported on the Form based budgets.
