Fund Center and equipemnt master link

Hi!
In our org. Funds Management is active. Now I want to Test Equipment calibration(Internal). I have created Equipment, maintain the strategy and schedule the same as daily.
Now my order has created but it is not released automatically.
Reason is "System status FMAI is active". If I entered Funds center in the order manually it is released.
My question is how to link funds center with order type or equipment so that order can be released automatically.
Thanks
Biswajit Datta

Dear
The Fund center is assined from cost center. In this case it is assigned with maintenance cost center at FMDERIVER t code.
Initailly the fund center is created by FMSA. There it is assigned with Fund area, controlling area,company code. Basically it is working thro assignemnt only. Each period Fm dept release the fund for these fund cnters with various commitment items.
In order level you should maintian the fund center once fund is activated. Thro customer exit while creating the order automatically system picks the maintenance work centers fund center as default. So your master data is helping for this work.But you can change the fund center at any time. The things is once materail is posted thefund will be deducted from assigned fund cnter at the time of issue.The fund availablity you can check thro FMRP_RFFMTO30X tcode.

Funds center and commetment item

Good evening!
We are HCM consultants. We were asked by our FI department to conduct a
post run for two personnel numbers in development system.
After the post run, the documents consider errors which say, for
example, that "in position 00001 21 993-05 commitment item was not
determined". 21 is a company code, 993-05 is a G/L account. This error
occurs for numerous accounts. Our FI says that they have customized
everything for 21 company code and have put commitment items for every
G/L account. They ask whether it is possible to customize fields for
funds center and commitment item in HCM, IT0015 where we determine
account assignment.
In the SAP course IPS910 they found a passage about HCM and FI
integration where is said that "Funds center and Fund can be determined
for org. unit/position/personnel. In addition to funds center and fund
there can be determind also a commitment item for info-types
considering account assignmet (0014,0015,2001-2005,2010)".
We in HCM guess that there is something wrong with FI customizing, 'cos
in HCM it's impossible to activate those fields, or even if it
possible - it's wrong.
The question is - is it possible to add fields for funds center in HCM
(IT0015) or it's not worth doing?
Best regards,
Eldar
Steps for Reconstruction
1. In HCM all the entris are standard. We made entries in IT0015,
started payroll and posting.
2. FI made their customizing for 21 company code.

Hello Eldar,
I will provide you some hints below.
1) To have the integration between PSM-FM and HCM, in PSM side you should check:
SPRO (IMG)
Public Sector Management
Funds Management Government
Actual and Commitment Update/Integration
Integration
Integration with Human Resources (HR)
Please check all the sub-menus there and the documentation available in from of each link. It is very good and provides some links for all the customizings that needs to be done.
2) Check also the configuration as it is described in the enclosed note 766613. It is related to view V_T588N.
3) If Funds Management and Controlling are updated in an integrated way such that the cost center is always the leading account assignment and the fund center is derived, the HR must not (and does not) support the maintenance of derived information (such as fund center). Thus there are the following three possible scenarios:
- Funds Management (FM) is not active.   -> HR doesn't show Fund Center
- FM is active but without CO-Integration-> HR shows Fund Center
- FM is active with CO Integration       -> HR doesn't show Fund Center
With CO Integration turned on, the derivation functionality is utilized to determine the Fund Center in HR. However, if you are looking for manual input in the FC field (and subsequent saving of this value on
the database), all I can provide would be a modification to inform HR that the FC field is active.
To perform that, you would need to make the following coding change to give HR the indication that the field should be displayed and edited:
FUNCTION FM_DC_GET_ACTIVE_DIMENSIONS:
    if ( CO-FM-Integration is on )
       IF ( l_f_fm01-co_integration = con_on ).         <   Delete
       IF ( l_f_fm01-co_integration = con_on AND     <   Insert
         NOT l_f_fm01-co_int_start_hr IS INITIAL ).     <   Insert
       IF ( l_f_fm01-co_integration = con_on AND
You will need to perform the necessary testing in HR to ensure that it is functioning as intended as I am unsure of the differences in the HR functionality between 46C and ECC 600.
These scenarios can be maintained with time dependence (active from-dates): There can be a period for the first, a second time interval for the second and a third time interval for the last scenario.
4) Please check if you have implemented note 918775. It should be present in your system
5) Please check if you have implemented note 755796. It should be present in your system
6) Please check also the note 701933.
I hope I could help you
Let me know your comments if I am going in the wrong direction.

Vanessa.

Fund Center and Commitment Item

Hi All ,
What is the Fund Center and Commitment Item also the use of it.
regards
sunil

The fund center is the budget which is issued by the managemnet for the specific area (cost center) . The same will be released in each periodical wise as per decision taken.
Example Maintenance team has one fund center. So all the times for his expenses the fund will be deducted from provision. Basically it is linking with cost center.
The commitmenet item comes under the fund center. It menas that you may have repair& services, Labour charges, spares etc. each commitment item has own budget value under your fund center. exaplme if you are taking the spares your spares budget will deduct.
I think u got something, but for explation here is not possible since its big subject.

MM-FM integration. How to stop update of Fund Center and Commitment Item

Hello!
Anyone please help. MM-FM integration.
Our problem is after automatic creation of PR and PO from work orders, and the fund center and commitment item in the PR and PO has been changed/updated by the user, and then we change something in the work order and save it, the fund center and commitment item of the PR and PO goes back to default value (based on FMderive). Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Rona

It seems like you have selected "Do not overwrite target values" option in both Funds Enter and Commitment Item in the derivation rule defined.
Go through SAP Note 666322, make sure the Trace feature in On and then choose the option "Overwrite Target Values" in both Funds Enter and Commitment Item in your derivation rule. After that, see the Difference before and after values in the trace log created after performing the derivation rule.
I am sure this will help.

How update Fund Center and Commitment Item after posting

hi Experts,
Funds management was activated during the year and hence there are few open items saved without capturing Fund Center and Commitment Item. When i tried to clear these open item i get the following error
Line in document xxx xxxxxxxxxxxx does not contain any commitment items
Is there any program which i can use to update derivation to the already posted line item
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Solutions proposed by Alexey are good if FM document was created for the FI documents in question. If, however, no FM document was created, reassignment process won't help. You can try FMN0 transaction after creating a derivation rule in FMDERIVE for these documents, but I cannot confirm that it would be sucessful as FMN0 transaction is not perfect.
The solution could be updating FI tables (BSEG/BSIS/BSAS) with FM assignment (fund centre/commitment item) and only then running FMN0 transaction. In this case, FM document will be created and you'll be able to process the items.

Eli

Static Fund Center and Commitment Item

Dear All,
We have recently implemented Funds Management in our organisation and there are a few issues due to corrections in the account assignment derivation data by the user.
We have a derivation strategy that gets the Funds Center and Commitment Item values from the GL/Cost Center combination.
Now, the user frequently changes the cost center as there is little clarity with regards to which cost center should the assigned costs go to.
Now when the user enters the Cost Center and the GL the first time, the FC and CI get populated in the PR - fine till now...But when before saving the PR, he changes the cost center, the new assignment does not get picked up. The budget consumption too happens in the old fund center and commitment item corresponding to the first entered cost center / gl combination.
We ran a trace and we found that the trace has the new cost center in it, but the old funds center and commitment item, with the explanation that "None of the target fields are to be derived."
We have given account assignment as changeable in the cost center (K) account assignment. And the FC and CI are in the optional mode with the account assignment.
Is there any way by which the FC and CI value gets picked based on the latest changes and not on the last held data ? Or any user exit that might get the values from the FMDERIVE each time the data is entered and the return key hit ?
Thanks and Regards,
Wy.

Hi Aleksey,
Thanks for the note !
Looks like the note was implemented already for a previous storage location-based development.
We have now made a change to the existing path - the existing FC/CI values are deleted first and the new values picked from FMDERIVE everytime we hit 'ENTER' or 'SAVE'.
This way, every change to the PR has the FMDERIVE check, and the values are indirectly refreshed this way.
Not sure if this is the right path, but could not find a better alternative to account for the innumerable corrections to the purchasing documents that take place at our organisation.
Regards,
Wy.

Fund center and commitment item not updated

Hi!
We are using Funds Management together with SRM. When we change the value of e.g. cost center and not the account assignment itself we do not get an update on fund center. When changing account we do not get an update on commitment item either. This is standard SAP and we have been asked to use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. Have anyone else had this problem?
I would really appreciate if anyone have some code for this BADI or any other badi e.g. BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI. It is only important that changes in PO when replicated to back end results in the correct update of commitment item and fund center.
Sincerely
Andres

Solved through BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI

Badi for IW31 to keep check on Funds Center and Settlement rule

Hi,
My requirement is that While running IW31,if the first four characters of Settlement Rule(Cost Center) and FundsCenter is not equal to Planning Plant then an error message should be raised . Can you suggest any appropriate BADI or User Exit for this?

Serching with the heriarchy node and not the funds center name

Hi,
I am executing a query with a heirarchy on funds center and a heirarchy selection variable on the web. When the selection appears I use the search help box to select a funds center. When it appears in the selection screen it is using the node name and compounding it with the financial managment area. This returns an error as it is looking for the master data name not the heirarcy node name.
1MAR/1MAR41000991000 - Returns Errors

Any thoughts?
Thanks Heather

WBS and funds center

Hi
Kindly explain the process flow for forming the link between WBS element and the funds center:
1. should we assign the WBS to the funds center and commit. item combination at the time of creation of PR
2. Is there single step, which assign all the WBS elements in the project, that can be assigned to the funds center and commit. item
3. Can we assign the budget to Fuds center + commit. item + WBS element combination.
regards
srikrishna

Hi srikrishna,
1. To assign fund center to WBS. First you should create the fund center (FM2i). Then assign the fund center to WBS (FRC7). Assign commitment to fund center (FM9K). Then generate budget structure (FMG5).
2. There's a way to simplify the fund center assignment to WBS, it's by creating WBS Element group for all WBS in that project (CJSG). Create WBS Group before assigning fund center to WBS (FRC7), then you don't have to assign the fund center to WBS one by one, instead just assign it to the WBS Group.
While, I'm not really clear about the the 3rd question.
Hope it helps, CMIIW...I'm still learning PS also.
Cheers

System asking for Fund Center for Reconciliatation GL-S.Creditors

Hi,
I followed the steps as per the note, Dump Error due to Fund Management module activation now the dump error is gone, but I am getting one more error message while posting any transaction.
For example- I am posting a Vendor Invoice in F-02.
I am entering Cost Center in Expense Line. But system is showing error message for Vendor Line, that is Vendor A/C.
Error Message:
No funds center entered/derived in item 00001 (TY01/50101400/)
Message no. FI313
Diagnosis
In company code (&2) the component Funds Management is active. This requires the entries or the derivation of a funds center.
You can use the following elements to derive the funds center: company code TY01/ account 50101400 or CO object .
Procedure
Enter a funds center or ensure that the funds center can be derived from the possible assignments by:
assigning a funds center in the commitment items- master record or maintaining the assigning of a funds center to the CO object.
Note***GL A/C 50101400 is S.Creditors account. Now, I am not understanding why system needs Fund Center for S.Creditors in Vendor Line while posting Vendor Invoice. We have assigned Statistical Commitment Item in S.Creditor GL and hence there is no Fund Center assigned to it.

Message was edited by: Eli Klovski

Sorry for that. Its noted.
Just for some clarification. Fund Center and Commitment Items are mandatory fields, but the issue I am facing is completely different.
I checked with FMDERIVE in my system and checked the pattern for Fund Centers and Commitment Items created. Only P/L items and Cost Centers are created as Fund Centers and Commitments Items.
Also, the S.Creditors GL is not a Cost Element, hence there is no link to Commitment Item- FMRULES.
1. Even though, the S.Creditors has been assigned with Commitment 1.
Commitment Item-1 Master Conditions as below:
Financial trans.-30
Commitment Item Category- 3
Is this conditions correct?
2. We have Fund Center- Dummy as well.
Can you suggest me, how to configure this in FMDERIVE?

Unable to do the restriction at Fund Center or FM Area when FM is not activ

Hi,
we have the following business requirement:
Background of the issue:
Field Status variant in Account Assignment category and GL:
We are in the process of rolling out one of our company codes which is
in a different instance(server).
We already have some 130+ company codes running in a different
instance. This is a kind of Instance consolidation to bring all systems
under one instance.
Funds Management has been activated in the company code for which we
are carrying out the rollout. FM has not been activated for the
existing company codes.
Now, the issue is with regard to the field status variants, which can
be controlled at the company code level and which cannot be controlled
which is at the client level.
(i)     The existing company codes have a field status variant which
has the field status groups having the fields Commitment items and
Funds center in Suppress mode in the existing instance.
(ii)     The company to be rolled out has the field status variant which
has field status groups having the fields Commitment items and Funds
Center in Optional mode.
(iii)     On the other hand, there is yet another field status control
for the Account assignment objects like Cost center, WBS elements, etc.
in the MM-FI integration area. This is at client level and at present
the same has the status of u201CSuppressu201D for Commitment items and Funds
Center. We have changed the same to u201COptionalu201D for the purpose of
testing the proposed roll out in our existing instance.
In that case, the status of GL account assignment in above is
clashing with our client level field status as described in (iii)
above. As a result, we are forced to change the field status in
above to optional mode for our existing company codes which we do not
intend to do.
When only one company within a group of companies is activated with FM,
I feel that:
(i)     At the client level, there is no option for me other than to
keep the Funds center and commitment items in optional mode
(ii)     At the GL level, I should be able to keep my field status in
Suppress mode (If FM is not activated) and in Optional mode (If FM is
activated) and SAP should be able to take care of the clash in the
field status at the transaction level in such a scenario.
The issue is we are able to control the access if FM is activated for a particular company code, where as we are unable to control the access for other company codes where FM is not activated and FM Area is not linked.
We tried to use the BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST, but this is applicable for POs only.
Please look into this issue and help us in meeting our business requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramakrishna

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the extra points.
Copy and save this bold text some where
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
This needs to be run in Terminal.
iChat needs to be shut down to do so.
Just paste it in Terminal after the Welcome to Darwin message and hit enter.
It will launch iChat and create an on-going log in the Terminal window.
You will see the reference to the Harware rules.plist
Further down you will see the bandwidth found by iChat, followed by the number of Audio and Video Buddies that you can support.
It goes on.....
It makes a note of the router that you are connected to.
After that it will end up lists listening checks until you connect to a Chat.
This makes this a useful way to find out what iChat can see at it's startup.
To Stop - Quit iChat in the Normal way.
Save the Log in a Text editor of some sort. (Post here if required).
Then Quit Terminal.
It is a useful tool to highlight some things in the start up phase, (And a reminder to look in specific places) when you think you have looked at all the settings.

Can i replace cost center by funds center in new G/L FIGL_C10 cube?

Hello,
I want to replace the cost center infoobject by Funds center. From business perspective I think so they both are same. I checked the master data for both the objects and it is the same. We have created a lot of nav attr on funds center and the users want to report on that so getting funds center is very imp.
I tried mapping the cost center field RCNTR to the funds cneter but funds center is CHAR 16 where as cost center is CHAR 10, so how do we take care of this ?
Please any inputs appreciated.
Thanks,

hmm....
if you use TRUN a cost centre 0000012345 will be converted into 12345. Without the alpha, it will be posted as 12345. I another value like 012345 is to be posted and has the same meaning than 12345 that would make two different entries.
Assess this fact with the R/3 guys in terms of naming...
Note as well that the COMPUTE TRUN won't work (DUMP) with a costcentre with letters in its ID...
I would turn the ALPHA conversion for the fund centre (only if 12345 is the same than 012345); it will then be stored as 0000000000012345.
hope this helps...
Olivier.

Fund Center & Commitment Item

What is the difference between Funds Center and Commitment Item ?
Thank you
Ravi

HI
<b>Commitment Item:</b>
Commitment items represent the functional grouping of an organization within a financial management area (FM area). Commitment items classify budget transactions and business transactions affecting liquidity into revenue, expenditure, and cash balance items. You can assign budget for particular responsibility areas (funds centers) to the commitment items. Budget is used up as postings commitment items and funds centers with commitment and actual values. Funds reservations and business transactions entered in the feeder systems also affect the budget.
<b>Fund Center</b>
Organizational unit within an FM area which represents the structure of an organization (areas of responsibility, departments, projects) in the form of a hierarchy.You can assign budget to funds centers in Funds Management. Budget is used up as postings are made to funds centers with commitment and actual values. Budget is even consumed in Funds management through a reservation of funds or by business transactions entered in the feeder systems of Funds Management (such as financial accounting, materials management).Funds centers in Funds Management are arranged in hierarchies. You can define only one funds center hierarchy per FM area. There is only one top funds center in a funds center hierarchy. Every other funds center has exactly one superior funds center. A superior funds center is defined in the master record of a funds center.
Cheers
