Some Commitment item for one GL account

Dear experts!
Now, I'm getting some issue about Funds management.
- The first, my company have three department and the each of department have a budget. The detail, Department A have budget is 50M, Department B have budget is 40M and department C have budget is 60M. Therefore, I have create three commitment item corresponding to three departments and three budget. In date 20.01.2014 my company have to buy material A for three department (A, B, C).
- Second, my company create a PR for three department (ABC) with three line item in t.code ME51. Here, can I assign three commitment item to corresponding to three line item? if i can do it then do the system check budget in the case? After that if the PR pass, then I create PO from PR and can I assign three commitment for three line item? In the PO, if I don't assign commitment item for three line Item then in the step of Good Receipt, how do the system process the problem?
Help me to process the issue!
Best regards, Huy

Hi,
Commitment item, in reasonable master data management system, should not represent departments: you have fund centres for this. Commitment items in 95% of the cases will map your chart of accounts (G/L). Derivation of fund centre department could be done through other financial/logistic objects, as cost centres, profit centres, plants, etc.

Commitment Item for Balance Sheet accounts

Hi all,
Can someone clearly explain the need to create commitment items for balance sheet accounts? I have searched a lot and have not found a satisfactory explanation. Since balance sheet accts are typically not budgeted, why do they even have to be reflected in FM?
Please explain.
Thanks,
MJ

Hi,
Sometimes, there is a need in budget check, through posting on balance sheet accounts, e.g. stocks, assets, etc. However, in most other cases it's indeed not necessary and the commitment item given should be either dummy one or in special cases, GR/IR, banks, etc., defined specifically for the issue in question.
Keep in mind, that once FM is activated every relevant posting must have FM assignment, including those on balance sheet accounts. That's why, even if you don't want to manage the budget, you have to assign FM objects to these postings.

Eli

Budgetory Commitment Items for Recon. accounts

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of budgeting trade creditors in SAP. Currently in our legacy system we are budgeting trade creditors as well as expenses.
Now as per SAP point of view my understanding is that we can only budget expense and revenue items. But for recon. accounts like vendor and customer, budgeting is not possible in SAP. I tried creating a commitment item for vendor recon. account with financial transaction 30 and commitment item category 3 and the same was assigned to recon. account in FS00. I posted budget in this commitment item with reference to fund and fund center through FMBB(T.code). Budget category "payment" was used for posting this budget and budget was successfully posted. Now when i tried to post the invoice to vendor, the system asks me to enter fund and fund center in vendor line item as well. i provided the fund and fund center in vendor line item to which i posted budget earlier in FMBB. the document gets posted without any error but when i view the budget consumption report instead of deducting invoice amount from the consumable budget amount and show the net available budget system add this in the consumable budget and shows the net result as bellow:
can any one guide if budgeting of such item is possible in sap FM or can we just budget P/L items? need your guidance please.

Hi,
Payments made to a vendor can be tracked through FI/FI-CA modules.
As for PSM-FM, please, comprehend and explain to your client two important points:
a) You won't be able to budget a vendor separately, but only, and still hypothetically, through reconciliation account, which makes the whole thing meaningless, as there will be no control on specific vendor
b) You won't stop payment, from business perspective, to a vendor on duly registered invoice just because 'the budget was exceeded'
If your client is interested to follow the payments, he can 'budget' bank accounts. Again, this does not make any sense (at least, a blocking budgeting), because the control is already applied through treasury components and bank account balance itself. Still, technically, it could be done.

Eli

Assignment of Commitment items to G/L Accounts

Hi to All,
My name is samad farooq , currently we are have upgrade our system from version 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
In 4.6C, we maintained assignment of G/L Accounts to Commitment Item via transaction code FS00.
Now same has been maintained in ECC6.0 but it gives error no commitment item found for processing.
We can maintain using the derivation strategy (FMDERIVE), but as we have upgraded, is there any way to automatically system derive the commitment without mention all the data again by using the derivation strategy.
Thanking you all in Advance.
Samad Farooq

Hello,
commitment items are essential for the update into the Project Cash Management as the financial transaction which is maintained for the commitment items is used to identify the type of the posting (e.g. invoice, payment, etc). Further informations about the correct customizing of commitment items can be found in note 144169.
The assignment of commitment items to the value categories is similar to the assignment of cost elements or cost element groups to value categories and is needed for the proper update of the data from the Project Cash Management into the Project Information Database (table RPSCO). The Project Information Database is the basis for hierarchy reports. So in case that this customizing isn't done, values from the Project Cash Management might not be shown or might be shown incorrectly in the hierarchy reports (e.g. 31CASH, 31FIM, 31FIMA, 31FIMB).
Assigning one commitment item to all value categories can be done. It is depending how detailed your reporting should be, but from point of the reporting it won't make sense to mix for example commitment items for outgoing payments with commitment items for incoming payments.
Kind regards,
Dirk

Hi.
The system logic is the following:
In the master record of your one-time account, there is a field called
'Reference account group'. The field status settings of the account
group entered here are relevant for the one time vendor screen.
Please note that even if the fields are changed from mandatory to
optional if the NAME and CITY of the One Time Vendor is not filled, the
system will still prompt the Error Message F5266.
If you do not enter the name and city you will receive error F5266.
The system logic here is to make sure that the name and the city being
keyed-in properly for the Executive Information System reportings.
Please note that it is hard-coded in the system.
Check the following notes
604312
587806
548834
513748
512360
Also if you are using any bapi to post the document, you can resolve the issue pass-in 'Name', City and Region field values in BAPI while creating the billing document.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

Funds Management - Commitment items for all GLs

Hello -
When we activate Funds Management, System expects a commitment item for every GL, including Bank accounts and Inventory accounts. I want system to expect commitment item only for expense accounts. How can I Do it. As such, we donu2019t have a budget for bank accounts.
Thanks in advance.

Just read Eli's msg clearly, its mentioned that GLs have to be assigned to Commitment with right category and Fin transacton. Just explored the IDES FM areas 1000,3000 and 4000 and understood the following but with couple of questions ( mentioned below)
Expenditure     30/3
Asset exp                     30/3
GR/IR - Clearing     40/3
Misc clearing      40/3
Liquid funds / Bank a/cs     90/1
All other bank chk pable/ Recbles     80/3
Trade recble     60/2     it make sense, but in FM area 3000, Receivables defined as 30/3 ?
Trade payable     60/3     it make sense, but in FM area 3000, Receivables defined as 30/3 ?
Tax payable     30/2     Why category '2' here?
Input tax                     30/2     Why category '2' here?
WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEBODY CAN CLARIFY MY QUESTIONS ABOVE.
Hope this info is useful and not mis guiding
Thanks

Clearing of open items from one Bank Account to one or several customer A/C

The requirement herein is to do the Posting & clearing of open items from one Bank Account to one or several customer Accounts. We will have to use the Standard program RFBIBL00 to achieve this because the program can do the posting and clearing of open items. I know that we will have to use the structures BSELK (Header) & BSELP (item) to get the clearing functionality as well. Now the question is to which field we will map the Bank A/C No. and the Customer Clearing A/C. I need help on mapping the data to correct structure fields. I thought about it and I think the data should be arranged like the following:
BGR00- Session Header
BBKPF- Header
BBSEG- Doc. data (Bank Account BBSEG-BANKN )----Can you confirm ??
BSELK-AGKON (Customer A/C- open item/ Header )
BSELP - Line Item
BSELK-AGKON (Customer A/C- open item/ Header )
BSELP - Line Item
BSELK-AGKON (Customer A/C- open item/ Header )
BSELP - Line Item
I know that the clearing can happen from one Bank A/C to several customer accounts. I am thinking on building up data in this format & then writing it to a file to sumbit the file data to RFBIBL00. Can anybody help me in building up the data. Kindly provide your helpful insights. I want to be sure if this is correct or not ?? One more question how to fill the BSELP structure ??

Hi there,
Does the user get authenticated in the ACS logs?
reports and activity----> failed attempts
ro
reports and activity-----> passed authentications
That will help narrow it down.

Get Open Items for GL Reconciliation account for Customers

Hi All
We have a difference on our AR to GL reconciliation, we are unable to view all postings to the GL account using Tcodes FBL3N or FS10N ? - the function is not available on that GL account.
how do we compare the open items on customer accounts to the postings in the GL reconciliation account if we can not get a line item report ?
Thanks in advance for any assistance
Dylan

Hi,
Generally for recon accounts, the indicator Lina item display will set to off. So you will not get line items for your recon account in FBL3N report. But still you can get the GL balances in FS10N for that recon accounts.
If you want to see the line items also for that recon account, then go to master data of that GL and select Line item display option and block the account in company code for postings temporarly.
Now run report RFSEPA01 in SE38 for you recon GL account.
Again go to GL master and unblock the blocking indicator.
Now check the line items in FBL3N for that recon account.
Thanks,
Srinu

Hi
Are you having separate account group for this One time vendor?
Via this account group, the vendor-specific fields, such as name, address, and bank address data should be changed from suppressed to display when you enter the vendor master record. You need to enter this data when you enter the document.
Check the fields status of Name, city etc in the below path

Commitment Items for Multiple services in Service PO

Hi,
We have created a service master for all the services used in a project. FM is activated. Every service has 1:1 relation with commitment items.
Even after table look up & derivation, system was not picking up correct commitment item in service PO. We have used some exits & BADI's, Now system checks picks the correct commitment item stored in FMDERIVE against the service master.
The issue is, the moment I have multiple service masters in a single service PO with two separate comm. Item. System picks up the commitment item of only for line item 0010 & posts both the entries against one comm. item.
Let me know how system can pick up individual commt items.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
I believe that there is one standard solution for what you developed. Let me explain better.
Please check your table FM01X. You can enable one these flags in table FM01X, depending on your business needs:
FLG_PO_PROTECT if you want to always inherit the fm account assignment from the reference PO and therefore skip FMDERIVE
FLG_FMDERIVE_FORCE if you always want to force a call to fmderive in all cases
FLG_SES_OVERWRITE in services, if you wish to overwrite the account assignment from the SES with the derived values from FMDERIVE.
You can find more information in note 1146677 and 923672. Please review the information of the notes and run the programs
according your needs.
FMDERIVE is skipped for GR/IR lines and the Commitment item is inherited from the PO regardless of whether or not the GR/IR line is FM relevant. This is SAP standard behavior.
If you want to force the Commitment item to be derived from the GL account for the GR/IR line, you can use the FLG_FMDERIVE_FORCE flag as described in note 923672. This will allow FMDERIVE to be called for these lines. Please be sure to fully test this to ensure that FM account assignments that you do not want to be overwritten are
not incorrectly derived.
Bear in mind that for PO´s that does not have account assignment you should run FMCN/FMCT + FMN4N. For this you would need to check the flags and which one is more related to your needs. With the appropriate flag marked in FM01X (active with X) you should be able to run the transactions without any issue.
Based on note 189761, after doing all the previous suggestions and the issue does not appear anymore, I suggest you to run the programs described in the note.
I believe that this will help you.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Safari and Chrome will not display some pages right for new user account

Not sure this is a Safari issue actually. Behavior is also in Chrome, but not Firefox. If I need to post elsewhere please advise.
24"imac running 10.5.8. 2gb ram, software update run,
Setup a new user account. Machine will have 2 users.
When I login as the new user, in both Safari and Chrome, some pages - google, ebay, amazon, cnn, yahoo, do not display correctly. Mainly empty space, a few graphics all wrong. They do display correctly in Firefox.
I assumed it was the user. So I added a 3rd user. Same behavior. Tried giving the new user admin rights. Same problem.
For the admin account, everything's fine on those pages, both in Safari and Chrome.
It feels like the new user is not getting access to something it needs, but it also feels like more than a font problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Dan

Thanks for your thoughts. Here's what I've learned. The browsers display correctly for the new user after SafeBoot. I removed all startup items, to no avail. Removed all fonts from the new user account, nothing. Removed all fonts from the admin user's library, nothing. Then I removed all fonts from the HD library, and that fixed it for the new user. Now I just have to figure out which one it was.
So in summary, a bad font in the HD library was affecting Safari and Chrome (but not Firefox) in new user accounts, but not in the admin user's account. Nice. D

Ksb2 transaction ( Display commitment item for CC )authorisation issue

In my project some of the user are facing problem to display for the T code KSb2 ( Commitment Item report for cost center ).
Mesage : No authorisation to display valuation view 1 for controlling Area .
User has in her authorisation profile to display valuation view 0 ie legal valuation .
In KSB1 transaction one option comes in Extras -> Actual valuation where the user can select 0 or 1 .
But in Ksb2 this option is greyed out .
So system is reading valuation view 1 & I am not able to understand from which settings ?
Need help on this .Do we mention any where in the variant relating to Valuation View ?
Thanks

Hi,
I think try to check with your Basis person. Do /nSU53 in KSB2 to see if any authorisation issue is involved.
