Activate carryforward of budget for commitments

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

When we execute carryforward for a purch order or purch requisition,

eventhough we activated the carryforward of budget for commitments, the

system is updating only table FMBDT.

So the amount of the carryforward item does not affect the avaliability

control (table FMAVCT) so we end up having more commitment on the next

year but without the avaliability of the document carried forward.

When we sum the record type '1 Plan' minus '0 Actual' we realize that wehave less avaliable budget than before.

In table FMBDT the system creates a record for process 'CORV Carry For.

Recv' for record type 1 Plan.

We reestructure avaliability control tx FMAVCREINIT and it does nothing.

Regards,

Adriana.

Hello Adriana,

Several questions:

Did this process work correctly and then got wrong or is it a new process?

What SAP release are you?

Do you have entries in FMBH/FMBL/FMBDP tables for the budgetary documents?

Are these documents defined with a specific budget type (other than normal budgetary document)?

Do you have special filter defined at AVC controlling objects, taking only some budget into account?

Hi Eli,

We are implementing on ECC 6 EHP 4

There are records on tables FMBH and FMBL but none on FMBDP.

These are not defined for an specific document type.

The filters defined in the AVC are only on fund center and commitment item for the tolerance profile strategy.

Regards,

Adriana.

Hello Adriana,

There is utility in SAP FMKU_CORRECT_FMBDP_FROM_ED (called from SE37) which could reconstruct FMBDP. Please, look at note 979758. However, please, be careful, as if your budget inscription is somewhat non-standard, then you'd better not run this utility by yourself, but contact SAP. I had recently similar problem in one of my projects.

Hi Eli,

We implemented an OSS note (Note 1508039 - Report to detect FMAVCT inconsistencies) to run a report that shows inconsistencies on table FMAVCT and FMBDT and this shows no inconsistencies. But I still don't understand why on FMBDT the amount is updated with operation CORV and this is not added to the available budget.

Is the carried forward commitment take into account for the available budget?

Besides creating the configuration on "Activate Budget Carryforward for Commitment" is there any other missing?

It seems to be it's not working, because the commitment is substrated from the available budget.

Best regards,

Adriana.

Hi Adriana,

If you have no FMBDP lines, then your FMBDT won't be updated as well. So, the report you mentioned won't find any inconsistencies, as AVC and FMBDT will be in line. Did you run the function module I provided?

Regarding your questions: if FMBH is created and FBML is created, then everything is fine with your customization. Are FMBDP lines missing only in certain cases or it's a 'normal' event? In the last case, I would raise OSS message.

Hello,

Maybe some quick check can help you trouble shoot the problem:

1. Identify the Budget Type for Carry-forward receiver:

Spro > Public sector management > Funds management government > Closing operations > Closing operations for BCS > Define budget entry documents for commitment carryforward; look for Settings for receiver lines and get the Budget Type.

2. Check whether the above Budget Type is included in the AVC Ledger:

Spro > Public sector management > Funds management government > BCS > Availarbility control > Settings for availability control leger > Define filter settings for budget values > Define the consumable budget; select ledger 9H and check whether the budget type identified in 1 is included.
