Hi Ajay,

I think note 881202 answers your question:

881202 FM derivation tool: Derivation of foreign acct assignments

Symptom

Using the Funds Management (FM) derivation tool (transaction FMDERIVE),

you want to derive account assignments that are not Funds Management

account assignments.

For example, you want to use a derivation rule to derive the G/L

account, the cost center, or the business area. However, the affected

account assignments are not transferred to the document.

Other terms

FMDERIVE

Reason and Prerequisites

The Funds Management derivation tool can only be used to derive Funds

Management account assignments. These include:

o Commitment item

o Funds center

o Funds

o Grant

o Functional area

o Funded program.

Within the derivation strategy, you can also use any other account

assignments that are in the document to be posted but only FM account

assignments can be transferred.

Solution

Account assignments that do not belong to FM cannot be changed by the FM

derivation tool. Otherwise, there could be major problems in other

applications (FI, CO, and so on).

Depending on the affected applications, two similar methods are possibly

available (validation and substitution, or similar).
