Earmarked funds during goods receipt (GR) is not inherited from PO.

[Former Member]

Hi, Everybody u2026

We are using Earmarked Funds relevant for FM updating, but, during goods receipt (GR) and invoice receipt (IR) it is not inherited from purchase order (PO).

In ME21N the account assignment is F and the system ask us to enter the GL Account, Order and additional the Earmarked Funds. The system is deriving correctly the fund, the funds center and the commitment item from those entered in the Earmarked Funds.

However, during goods receipt and invoice receipt, the Earmarked Funds is not inherited from purchase order (PO) besides the others account assignments (order, fund, funds center and commitment item ) in the coding block.

Best regards,

Thanks

Hi,

Indeed the Earmarked Fund is not derived to the GR document.

Why do you need the Earmarked Fund doc in the GR?

The Earmarked Fundis reduced by your PO (where you probably inserted the Earmarked Fund doc number), so why do you need the document number in your GR?

Thanks,

In fact, this is doubt. To know if this, is the standard scenario.

The reason because I expected this derivation in PO is the displayed information later in the documents flow in transaction Display Overview Screen (XM03) for the Consumption of the Funds Reservation.

From Purchase Requisition business transaction change to Purchase Order business transaction, but it doesn't change to Good Receipt and/or Invoice Receipt business transaction.

When the responsible review this history, he only can see Purchase Orders as the final business transaction.

Our recommendation about it is to give a click on trigger document and review the Purchase Order History tab. Here, as we know, he can review details about the status of the good receipt and invoice receipt if these already exist.

Hi

In FM you have

FM processes and logistic processes

FM

Earmarked funds: funds reservation, funds precommitment, funds commitment, forecast of revenues..called also commitments

Logistic

Commitments are

PR, PO, sales order

From ERP 5 you can have a PR against a funds reservation or a PO against a funds resrevation

GR, invoices are actuals reducing commitments. Then in your GR click on account assignment you should see the number of your funds reservation.

Hello,

I will provide some hints:

- If it is a service PO, please check the Note 972276 (Service Purchase orders only).

- If the posting is related to Asset, please kindly check:

a. Note 684659

b. Check if you have a derivation rule in FMDERIVE with the function module FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET.

c. Check in your FI-AA customizing if you have activated the account

assignment element but you have not specified an account assignment type for

account assignment object for APC balance sheet postings (see note 684659 for

details).

I hope it helps

Best Regards,

Vanessa Barth.
