Setting PO as Commitment item

Hello,
When I create purchase requisition for an activity in Project, it creates commitment with PR amount. Requirement is that system should generate commitment on PO creation rather than PR.
Where can I make this setting. Please guide...
Thanks.

Hi,
PR created through Project MRP run do not generate commitments. Check if this can be used in your case.

GR/IR Account with Wrong Commitment Item

Dear Experts,
When we doing GR(MIGO), system is not deriving the commitment item from FMDerive, istead taking the commitment item from offsetting GL entry. Is it common behavior? If not, how to force GR act derived into right commitment item which its category (40/3). Please kindly advise. Thank you.

Hi kkbdsp,
My issue is this GR account is never derived from FMDerive. And i searched in forum, this is common behavior in SAP like Ming Hong post below :
" What you described is a SAP standard behavior. For GR/IR account, system ignores whatever settings you made in FMDERIVE. FM account assignment is inherited from the PO. For example your consumption PO has expense account 456 with CI 456, Fund and FC; your GR/IR account is 123 with CI 123.
GR posting:
DR 456 with CI 456/Fund/FC
CR 123 with CI 456/Fund/FC
IR posting:
DR 123 with CI 456/Fund/FC
CR Vendor
Regards,
Ming
And my concern are :
- I am just wondering why do we need to make CI setting for GR/IR with category 40/30?
- if GR act is always derived from its offseting acct (expense acct 30/3), why then SAP give error message "GR reduction impossible. Wrong CI with FT 30 instead of 40 in GR/IR acct"?
Please kindly advise. Thanks.

Incorrect Commitment item derived for GR/IR for service orders

Hi Guys
We are currently on support pack 14, release 200 of EA-PS. I'm experiencing problems in with FM account assignment derivation. Especially with regards to service entry sheets.
The system is deriving account assignments well from goods reciepts to invoice reciept stage. The problem kicks in when clearing GR/IR - clearing using transaction code MR11. The system derives the expenditure commitment item using the GR/IR account in FI. I created assignments for my commitment items to be derived from G/L accounts as there is a one to one relationship between my G/L account and commitment item.
This condition results in a debit and credit entry being posted to the same commitment item in one transaction. I would expect only one item to be posted to the expense commitment item as it is the only one in the two line document whose financial transaction field set to 30. The GR/IR commitment's financial field is set to 40.
Regards
Thuso Mudau.

Hi,
First thing I's do is to activate the FMDERIVE trace and see what is this commitment item derived from.
See what GL accounts are posted in the financial doc, and have a look at the log to see if the commitment item is derived directly from those acocunts.
Let me know the results...

Scheduling Agreement Item not reflected as commitment item in CO

HI SAP MM Gurus,
Good day!
Here is my scenario:
We need to create scheduling agreements with Account Assignment F which needs to have the commitment items reflected upon creation of the delivery schedule. This works ok if I create the documents (Scheduling Agreement and Delivery Schedule) manually, with the field EKPO-XOBLR being set to X to have the items pass through to CO
The problem is, due to the volume of documents processed, we need to create an upload program using the function module BAPI_SAG_CREATE. Upon observation, this does not update the commitments for the shceduling agreement items even though both the scheduling agreement and delivery schedule were created.
Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?
Kind regards,
DeLo

Are u sure the transaction code is ME33L, contracts use ME33K
Now this is tricky.
One way of finding the condition table used is (working backwards)...
go to table KONH
in the field VAKEY enter your contract(10 chars as in EKKO/EKPO w/ leading zeroes or trailing spaces) and contract line(5 chars w/ leading zeroes).
look at KVEWE (A in my case) and KOTABNR (16 in my case) used now join the two (A016 add the zero in between) now this is the condition table.
working forward.
if the condition table is A016
Get A016-KNUMH from A016
A016-KAPPL = 'M'
A016-KSCHL = 'PB00' (condition you are looking for)
A016-EVRTN = Your Contract Number
A016-EVRTP = Your Contract Line Number
Select DATAB (Validity Start Date), DATBI (Validity End Date) from KONH
where KNUMH EQ A016-KNUMH
Cheers!

"Error occurred in derivation rule" & "No commitment item entered in item".

Unable to create Purchase Request (PR) and the following error message shows
"Error occurred in derivation rule. See Long Text"
Diagnosis
Fund From Commitment Item
No entry in a derivation rule was found for the specified source fields.
The derivation rule was set up that an error message appears when this happens.
The required derivation rule entry would need the following source fields:
Commitment Item
xxxxxxx
Procedure:
Create an entry in a derivation rule for these source field values. Make sure that entries exist for all the valid source field values. If the derivation should not always be carried out, you can also define rule so that no error message appears if a derivation rule entry does not exist.
Can any one help how to find out the root cause of the error and solve this issue
Regards,
GB

I was able to duplicate your error by creating the following.
I went to transaction FMDERIVE and created a derivation rule and named it "Fund From Commitment Item".
On the definition tab, I selected committment item (COMMIT_ITEM) for the source field and the target field selected (FUND).
The condition tab was left blank. NOTE: On the attribute tab I selected the option "Issue Error Warning If No Value Found).
I entered no rule values (F9) within the rule (for example such as commitment item XXXXXXX = fund YYYYY) and saved.
After creating this derivation rule, I get the same error message because there were no values in the derivation rule (the source commitment item used was not found in the rule).
If Fund is a field that is always keyed manually then I would not have such a derivation rule.
But you may have some exceptions (like we do) and in the case of exceptions you can populate the derivation rule with those exceptions... i.e. whenever commitment item XXXX is used then the fund should be equal to YYYY further using your conditions and attributes for your custom needs.

FI 606 No Commitment Item Selected during MB01

Dear All,
I have a problem during GR/IR process in MB01. When logistic section want to post the GR process based on the PO reference, there is an error: No commitment items selected, message FI606.
I already created the commitment item with financial transaction 40, but it didn't affect anything during the GR. The error still the same.
When I try to post the GR, I already activated the trace. There is a GL account for RAVE account derived to another commitment item which does not suitable with the derivation I already inputted in FMDERIVER.
Why does it happen?
Thanks

Hi Aleksey,
Thanks for your reply.
I already set the fin. transaction for GR/IR account 40 and it didn't affect anything.
And I already check the note 148967 and I'm confused how to implement the note.
So the posted journal when GR saved:
Dr. Inventory (GL: 141097200) --> budget, fin.transaction/CI category: 30/3
Dr. RAVE Purchase (GL: 600504000) --> non budget, fin. transaction/CI category: 40/3
Cr. AP GR/IR (GL: 300503000) --> non budget, fin. transaction/CI category: 40/3
I activated the trace before post the GR. In the trace result, the commitment item derived only the inventory commitment item.
Though, the GL appeared in the trace is GL RAVE Purchase (600504000), the commitment item derived is Inventory Commitment item (141097200).
And I check the derivation GL to Commitment Item, the GL RAVE purchase is derived to RAVE Purchase commitment item.
I dont know how it can be happen.
Any solutions? Thanks

Purchase Order Commitment Item

Hi,
Could you please help us to solve this issue
When we trying to business completion of Maintenance Order the system is giving the error message "There is still a Purchase Order commitment for Order".
We have seen there is one Purchase order created from the maintenance order and the invoice is created for this PO. After that user set deletion flag for this Purchase Order and PR also. But still the system is giving the commitment item open error message.

Hi
Use T Code SE38 and execute the program RKANBU01 mentioning the Maintenance Order to which assigned in PR/PO.
If still problem persists, then undo the deletion flag & set final invoice indicator for the PO and then check.It must allow then
Thanks,
Manish

GR/IR - Commitment item derivation

Hi everyone,
In our case (ECC 6) the GL acct number and CI number are always the same. However, when i look at a couple documents that have GR/IR posting, the GL account and commitment item are different. I cannot see any possible derivation rule that can possibly cause this. I did see other discussions in this forum about a 'fmderive-bypass' for GR / IR transactions. Can someone explain in more detail what this is and if it is relevant in my scenario? Secondly if if GR/IR GL account 123 derives commiitment item 456 (instead of CI 123), then wher exactly is this set? what setting do i need to look into to find out where and why this is happening?
Thank you,

Hi ,
As per the issue that you are facing , you have defined the same commitment item for same GL A/c .
The possible reasons for the same are the derivation rules that you have defined in FMDERIVER .
Kindly check the derivation strategy that you have defined - FMDERIVE .
Secondly check the relevant GL A/c what is the commitment item that you have enterd there .
For having a check on how the derivation is taking place during the transaction , you can always activate the trace and see how the commitment items are getting populated .
for activating the trace do the following : go to FMDERIVE - double click the relevant derivation strategy - click on the test button and in the bottom u will see an option for trace activate that and you will find that a green signal is populate at the right end corner .
do take care to check the transaction from the same user ID where in you have activated the trace .
Cheers ,
Dewang

Commitment Items and Cash management in Projects

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me how can i do the cash management project wise. What needs to be configure and what is the business process???
How can we do cost planning and budgeting in projects???
Please revert asap.
Thank You

Hi,
The coffiguration steps for Cash Management are as follows:
1 Maintain FM Area
2 Assign company code to FM Area:
3 Activate Project Cash Management in company code:
4 Create and Assign Commitment Items
5 Check Assignment of G/L Account / Commitment Item
There are 6 types of SAP cost planning functions available to Project System.
     Hierarchical Cost Planning
     Unit Costing
     Detailed Planning
     Easy Cost planning
     Network Costing
     Assigned Order Planned Costs
In Hierarchical Cost Planning , planned costs are maintained for each WBS element in CJ40 transaction.
WBS Budgeting allocates the overall cost estimates to individual work items so a baseline can be set to measure project performance and control spending. In other words , budget is approved planned costs.
Budgeting can be done thru T Code CJ30 .
I hope this helps you.
Reward points if useful.

One Inventory GL to several Commitment Items

Dear BCS experts
Here is a requirement for capital Items.
1. All assets should go to Inventory GL while raising the PR/PO.
2. While issuing the Goods(GI) it should go to respective Assets.
Requirement is while raising the PR/PO, if I select the Blank Account Assignment category, it will ask commitment item.
If I do not assign any commitment item to the inventory GL, will the system allow me to overwrite the commitment item for each line item for the same inventory GL? (manual entry).
Ex: One Inv GL for Computers and accessories.
Commitment items- Fax machines, computers, x-rox, printers..
I would like to select different commitment items for the same computer Inv GL for consuming the Budget and controlling purpose.
Can I do this without any other settings.
Pls confirm
Many Thanks
Rama

Hello,
Does the FM derviation strategy & function module defined for GL to CI? Plus is the CI field compulsory in GL Master record?
Is above are defined in that case, it would depend upon the derivation rule plus the setting whether overwrite is possible or not.

I've create commitment item master (FMCIA) without "Standard Variant" field flaging. When I display commitment item heirarchy (FMCIE) the commitment item is under my Standard Hierarchy.
I reviewed in table "FMCI" and found that field Standard Variant (STVAR) is flagged "X". Is this mean all Commitment Item Master Data will be automatically flaged the Standard Variant field?
From my experience, all Commitment Item should be flagged to be position under the standard variant. I tried create Commitment Item Master in the client that the Standard Variant indicator filed appeard by un flag that field. There is the error Message no. F6160 (You can only maintain postable cmmt items in standard var. xxx).
Are there any case that the standard variant field in Commitment Item master should not be flagged, and let that commitment item out from Standard Variant ?
Is this related to the configuration that I set for Year Independent Master Data?

Dear FM Expert,
I 'm new in the forum. I have some problem related to fmderive too. I have to do as your scenario that is to derive stat committment item to depreciation expense account. I use fmderive with user exit EXIT_SAPLFMDT_001 and include ZXFMDTU01
Coding to check AFAB tcode to derive the committment item. It's not work
if sy-tcode+0(4) = 'AFAB'.
    if I_FMDERIVE_SOURCE-account_number = 'xxx'.
      e_fmderive_target-commit_item = 'xxx'.
    endif.
ENDIF.
When I set trace , It seems work when test run for AFAB but when I do production run that need run in background. It does not work. Is there anything wrong with my code or Does fmderive work with Background job
Is there any suggesttion , please ?
Thank you very much,
