Funds management and project budgeting

Hi
We have funds managment activated for operational expenses(OPEX).
Project budget will be used for all CAPEX requirements. However, there will be common G/L accounts used in both operational expenses and capital expenses. For eg. steel could be issued both for projects as well as maintenance activities.
Please clarify on the following:
1) How to avoid duplication of budgets in PS and FM.
2) Can we forego PS budgetings and depend on only FM budgeting to meet the above issue. Can't we achieve the PS budgeting functionality in FM.
3) What differentiates or advantages we get in PS budget over FM budget.
Regards
Srikrishna

Srikrishna,
I am not aware of FM, but for the point mentioned by you
However, there will be common G/L accounts used in both operational expenses and capital expenses. For eg. steel could be issued both for projects as well as maintenance activities.
You can over come this by using valuation class in the material master Acoounting1 view. There you have 2 valuation classes
1. Valuation class - this is used for operational purposes and this valuation class will have set of G/L accounts mentioned in IMG for determining different process like, inventory, consumption etc...
2. Project Valuation Class - This is used for Project (when you mention account assignment as Q in PR or PO) system will read this valuation class, if no value exists in this field, it reads Valuation class. Again if the value in this field is different than the Valuation class, then it will contain different set of G/L account, with help of this you can distinguish the operative and Project G/L accounts and inventory / consumption separately.
Hope this may help you.
Regards,
Praveen

Funds Management as a budget source for Grants Management

Hi:
I have grant type whose budget source has been set as Funds Management and transfer to FM check box is also on. Now i have a fund center and commitment item which have been assigned to sponsored program and sponsored class master data respectively. I have created a grant with reference to these Sponsored program and sponsored class in initial draft phase. Now i want to post budget in FM and then automatically transfer it to GM as soon grant is awarded. I am following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/3e/1b7e3cda04f678e10000000a11405a/content.htm .
In FM i have posted a budget (but did not release it) against an external fund, also against commitment items and fund centers which have been assigned to SC & SP respectively. Grant field is set as non relevant grant.
Now my question is at what point in time budget will be will be updated in Grants management , How will the transfer from FM to GM happen ? Please guide me
Regards

Hi Shyamal:
Please note that a DUMMY grant has been created in customizing Define "Not-relevant grant". I am following the process e.g
1..1 have 3 Million Research & education budget for year 2012-13 and for a varying sponsored programs and a sponsored class linked with fund center and commitment items respectively
2..Of these 3 Million i am expecting that i will receive 1 Million as grant .
3..In FMBB i ENTER 3 Million budget against DUMMY Grant along with combination of fund,FC & CI.
4.As soon an MOU is signed with Grantor and he releases amount 0.6 Million for budget i create a Grant master ans set its status to award ..Grant number generated is XYZ
5.Now i n FMBB, i try to release budget again this grant number but system is throwing error that budget amount is not sufficient for release for combination XYZ/FC/CI/Fund , system is true in saying so because earlier budget was entered and posted for DUMMY Grant and now i am trying to release it for Grant XYZ. System does not let me directly ENTER budget in FMBB against Grant XYZ and throws error "Grant XYZ can not be used to enter budget in FM".
Please note that in Grant type budget source has been explicitly defined as "Funds Management"

Business Content for Funds Management and Purchase Orders

Dear all
Our controlling department asks me to have SAP Funds Management and Purchase Order reporting in BW and thus BO. SAP standard report FMRP_RFFMAV01X shows pretty much what they would like to see: Distributable Budget by Funds Center and how it got spent by the Purchase Orders.
I tried to find what SAP BI content can offer. I found for example DSO 0BBP_PO in the "Enterprise Buyer" BI content, but this only shows purchase orders. On the other hand, cube 0PU_C02 shows funds line items, but nowhere a reference to the Purchase orders.
Could anyone advise if there is something in the BI content combining FM and PO?
thanks a million for your help

Hi Josef,
The Functional cosultants in the Team should be able to answer this as to how the integration has been done and the respective tables.
In case there is no STD datasources then you can build a view of Generic Datasource based on the Tables Recommended by the FC Team.
Also check how Fundcentre is mapped in MM module,like it may be same as Profit centre or Plant.
In that case get both the data in BW and build a MP/IS and report for both the KPIs...Amount Alloted and Amount Spent ,if drill down is require then show the POs.

Funds Management and Budget Check on Settlement of Assets

Dear All
We are implementing Funds Management module with BCS as budgetary tool. We have a requirement like this. At the time of PR or PO for AUC, budget need to be checked, whereas at the time of settlement of this AUC to a fixed Asset there should not be any budget check
Kindly let me know whether, this scenario can be mapped in SAP using Funds Management Module
Regards
Vivek MG

Hi,
You can build a derivation rule in FMDERIVE basing it on business transaction field. In case of assets settlement, you can derive a dummy commitment item.

Funds Management and Fiscal Year Variant Change

Hello !
We are configuring a new fiscal year variant.
Currently, the system is on a CALENDAR YEAR FY variant and we are doing the following:
1. creating a shortened FY of Jan 2009 - Mar 2009
2. new fiscal year from April 2009 - Mar 2010
We are trying to change the FY variant for Funds Management via OF15 but receive the error FI674.
FI674:
You must not change the fiscal year variant in Cash Budget Management or Funds Management for FM area FM01 if actual data already exists for FM area FM01, or if one or more of the company codes assigned to FM area FM01 is active.
We have found oss note 719597 which details how to change the FY variant for Cash Budget Mgmt, but it does not apply to Funds management.
I could find no other supporting documentation.
Can anyone guide us as to how to deal with this issue?
Thank=you !

Hello Patti,
The point is that it is not possible to change fiscal year variant if actual values exists.
You are trying to do a change in January. You probably have some postings in 2009 already.
In the area of PSM-FM there is no note like 719597 of TR-CB.
Only if no actual values exist, this customizing change would be possible and reasonable.
If you are doing this setting in your customizing client, you can delete the postings (please DO NOT do it if you are in production) that exist in 2009 and try again.
SAP do not recommend to change a Fiscal Year Variant that has already been assigned to a company code and has already some postings. This may create database inconsistencies.
You can create another Fiscal Year Variant with the information that you want to be customize, and this variant you will be able to assign to a company code. Before you assign this new variant to a company
code please be sure that none of the information that you already posted in this company code will be affected, this information you may review it with your consultant on-site.
Also please review/apply note 173636, 202687, 10945, 193713, 123026, 210861 which may happen in your system.
The fiscal period is related to the posting date via the fiscal year variant. E.g.: I you do a posting on 5.5.2009 it will be posted e.g. in period 5 for fiscal year variant 'A'. This period is not only used in the document header table (BKPF,VBRK,MKPF ...) but also in several balance table (GLT0, KNC1 ...) not only in FI but also in SD, MM, CO .... If in the new fiscal year variant 'B' this posting date is related to another period e.g. 7 the relation between documents and Periods and balances will be destroyed.
The problem will be enhanced if the posting-date would be related to diffrent fiscal years.
In addition several reports in AP/AR and GL reread period-depend data by selecting the posting-date regardless of the period in the document because it's not normal practise to change the fiscal year variant of a company code.
Some of the involved issues are:
- FM actuals and commitments may need to be reconstructed if their period- (or even fiscal year-) assignments is changed.
- FM actuals/commitments can not be reconstructed if fiscal year change activities have already been performed (commitment carry forward, FMJ1, FMJ2).
- Budgeting data and assigned values may principally be concerned as well, especially if you are working with period values in budgeting.
The change of fiscal year variant has several implications and should be analyzed very carefully.
Please check note below for more information:
Note 672255 Shortened fiscal year / changing fiscal periods
I hope it helps you and good luck

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.
Deepak.

Fund Management VS Project System

Hi Experts,
We implemented FM in 2000 Year ! & Recently we are going to implement PS module. What is the impacts on FM & Where exactly maintain the budget whether PS side or FM side? Consultant would like to maintain budget in PS only ! If we accept the same ,what will be the solution ?
What are the derivation rules needs to create ?
Rgds
ManiSuma

Hi,
These two modules run independently, and there is no interaction between them on the level of budget control: that is, the budget could be managed in FM and in the same time on project level in PS.
If you use FM for general budget management, then implementing PS should have no impact on your FM derivation rules, as long as you don't require special re-organization in FM (given the fact, that the budget for projects will be managed in PS and not in FM).

Eli

Dear All,
I am working on a new project on Enterprise Compensation Management and Manpower Budgetting. I have some doubts in this area as given below:
