Fund center derivation based on functional location cost center

[Former Member]

Hi,

can anybody share the process to derive fund center based on cost center assigned to functional location/equipment of a plant maintenance order

Thanks

Hi,

You can use FMDT_READ_MD_ORDER function module in your derivation rule. That's in order to read master data of the porder, if I understood you correctly. If you want to base your strategy on functional location, what is the scenario exactly? You don't post anything on FL itself; it always passes through CO object.

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your response.

Scenario is as follows:

Cost is booked to PM order & settles to cost centers. I don't have budget at PM order level. But will have budget in fund management for cost center. So whenever I book cost to PM order it should check budget available in fund center. Fund center should be derived from cost center assigned to functional location of PM Order

I have not used function module before for derivation. I have created a derivation rule based on functional module but there is no place to assign fund center in derivation rule. Please explain the process to derived fund center through PM order in above scenario.

Thanks

Thanks Eli.....problem resolved.

In derivation rule, when i provide target field as 'cost center' to Technical Field 'KOSTL - Cost center for basic settlement', system automatically derives cost center from PM order. Then fund center based on cost center.
