Travel request not creating a commitment when approved

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

We have fund management activated with availability control for payment budgets.We have also budgeted against a fund,fund centre,comm item

When we raise a Travel request under FI-TV component, and it is approved, there is no commitment which is generated?

The sap help says that when a TR is approved it will generate a commitment.

Am i missing something either in Funds management or Travel component...

Any suggestions/guidance will be much appreciation

Hi,

Please, check note 925840.

Additionally, check if all the activities are duly maintained as specified here:

The unapproved trip should also go into FM with VT = 52 , but Statistical. Is this going in ?

Don't forget to put the FM Deriver (and GM Deriver too if that is active) into trace mode so you can see what it is doing. There may be no Commitment Item derived, since there is no GL Account for the "Estimated Costs" defined.

The deriver will also need any FM fields defined as required (Fund, Fund Center etc). You will not get any messages about failure ! Hence use the deriver Trace function to see.

Also, double check SAP delivered (behind the scenes) settings : described in OSS Note 596610.

Cheers.
