PO / Fund commitment / link between FM and MM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Here is my question:

When you create a PO, how can you make it 'commit' in the next fiscal year instead of the current FY. Is it possible to do this? If so, what are the settings that have to be tweaked to make this possible?

Secondly, what are some of the links between POs, PRs, (MM module) and the FM module in the IMG? Where do you make the actual settings to determine how data is exchanged between these two modules.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes, it's possible via update profile of the FM. You can set that the FM date is taken based on either posting date (default, in your case, I presume), delivery date or due date (via OF39 transaction).

Answering your next question, the integration between relevant MM movements and FM is pre-configured in the system by default.

Thanks Eli.

So OFUR/OF39 will make that change across the board. Is there a way to do it by individual POs? Also, what if your fiscal year has a few more months in it and you expect the delivery to happen in this fiscal year - is there any way, to make that commit to the next fiscal year instead?

One more simple question - in terms of integration, how does it work. When a PO transaction comes to the FM side, is a funds commitment document created? (for every po)

Thanks for patiently answering my questions.

Hi,

No, it could not be done for particular documents; it's cross-system definition.

As for your second question, indeed, every PO creates FM commitment, if FM address derived implies creation of FM document (commitment item is defined with proper attributes).

Eli

Dear colleague,

Business transactions posted in Materials Management are updated in Funds Management (FM). The following business transactions can be updated in Funds Management:

· Purchasing

Purchase requisition, purchase order, scheduling agreement

· Inventory management

Goods receipt, goods issue, transfer

· Invoice verification

Invoice receipt, logistics invoice verification, credit memo as document

Note that purchase orders for which the Return item indicator is set are not updated in Funds Management.

All the information about MM-PSM integration is under the next link:

A range of prerequisites must be met before data from the feeder systems can be recorded in Funds Managemen; you have this information under the next link:

From my point of you, in the next two links you have a very useful information about the requirements for integration, with a nice example:
