Commitment item assignment to G/L account

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Can You please help me sort out issue with Message no. FI311 (No commitment item entered in item 00010.... ) in material purchasing docs which occurred after activating Project cash management.

Commitment item type 30, category 3 has been created (FMCIA) and assigned to one clearing G/L account related to WBS

Why do I need to assign all G/L accounts to this commitments item? All I need is only having planned payment in operation (CJ48).

I already checked note 1267998 (FI311 - Common issues related to this error message). I dont want to distribute manually commitment item for each G/L account so I set up derivation rule in FMRULES and assigned to derivation strategy (FMDERIVE) / company code. But the error above is still shown. What else needs to be done?

I also would like to ask what is the impact on G/L accounts from FI point of view when commitment item is assigned?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

ok I see - I need to assign other accounts to commitment item - can I use only one commitment item for all accounts, or it is necessary to divide as per type of account/transaction? I only created one commitment item for Project payments (type 30, category 3)

What types of commitment item parameters should be used for P/L accounts(costs) from Mm docs. ?

Thank you for your help!!!

Use T Code FIPOS to automatically create commitment items from GL accounts.

For more detailed information about PCM refer note 701075

Hi,

One need to create the commitment item for the Balance sheet account (Used in PR and PO) also for the P/L Account used.

Please create the commitment item for the Balance sheet account as well.

As per my understanding you have only created the commitment item for the P/L account.

Take help of the MM and FICO consultant to find out the B/S account and the assignment of the commitment item to this.

Hope it helps...

Thanks!!

Hi,

Any Posting happens in FI will fetch the data in project cash management only by commitment items. So whenever there is PO, Invoice or payment, check the G/L is supported with commitment items.

Commitments items referred to Project cash management or Fund Management or Cash Management whereas G/L A/c referred to Financial Accounting.

Hope I answer your Q.

Hi Yaghag

not fully

I understand that commitment item refers to Funds managements, and G/L A/c is FI issue.

But I cant understand why do I need to have assigned commitment item in case of FI accounting (ME21N, ME51N...) - in this case I am getting the error FI311 as described above. Please explain...

Assigning Commitment item to G/L account is the integration part...by this way FI and FM area are getting integrated....
