Implementing FM, "Assign Controlling Area to FM Area" unavailable

Question

Hello,
This is the first time I implement FM. I have activated the following bussiness funtions, and I am following the IMG installation instructions.
One of the first steps is to assing a Controlling Area to a FM area, but this transaction is not available. It is not in Enterprise Structure --> Assingment --> Controlling. And when searching by transaction sapl0fmc, I get a message saying the transaction does not exist.
My cliente is already using FI and CO in production. I am doing this in Development.
The bussiness functions I activeted are the following:
FICA_EF
FICA_FM
ISHERCM_MAIN
PSCD
PSCD_SETTINGS
Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance,
Paola

Answer 1

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. I have already asigned my company code to the FM area. But in the IMG implementation guide "Prepare Funds Management Installation", it clearly states in point 2:
You then assign an FM area to each company code and controlling area relevant to Funds Management.
For more information, see sections:
a) Assign Company Code to FM Area
b) Assign Controlling Area to FM Area
If I navigate to "Assign Controlling Area to FM Area, I get:
Assign controlling area to financial management area
In this activity you assign all controlling areas relevant for Funds Management to financial management areas.
I posted this question since I was not able to find the transaction necessary to assign the Controlling Area to the FM area.
So, if I want to associate a Cost element to a Commitment Item, it is not necessary to assign a controlling area to a FM area?
Thank you,
Paola
