Hi,

You are mixing terms here. Commitment item is FM entity and cost centre is CO entity. They are not linked, and no interaction occurs between them. Commitment items are not 'posting' to cost centres. The cost carrier in CO is cost element.

Hi,

Commitments in CO are posted by logistic documents, such as PR or PO or by earmarked funds. Before that, make sure that the commitment management is activated in the controlling area OKKP at least. If you use internal orders, it should be switched also on internal order type level.

Hello,

Also make sure that your commitments are not being locked on your Cost Center.

These settings are inherited from your cost center category.

OKKP: Activate Commitment Management

KS02: Make sure commitments are not locked.

When a purchase order is prepared with account assignment COST CENTER, a commitment will get creaeted (In business terms, the company is committed to the outside party to purchase at least this much amount in the future). When the goods are being received from the outside party, to that extent the commitment gets reduced and will be posted to the actual.

Thanks,
