Open PO Commitments carryforward

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

We are implementing FM-BCS. As per our Business requirement at the year end, we need to carryforward open PO commitments to next year.

I have tried the same by using T.Code FMJ2 and Open PO commitments are successfully carry forwarded to next fiscal year.

When I checked the same in Budget availability Report the opem commitment amount got reduced from consumable and consumed amount in sender year (2011) and the same open commitment amount got increased in consumable and consumed amount in receiver fiscal year (2012). And also the amount got reduced in sender fiscal year with period 16 (we are using fiscal variant V3). But it should be updated with period 12 (fiscal year 2011)instead of 16th period.

Please suggest Why it is updated with 16th period? And also why open commitment amount got reduced in sender fiscal year (2011)?

Please suggest the process.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The commitment carried forward debits the budget in the new year. This is documented in the online help and also in the technical documentation of FMJ2.

Regarding to the posting period in the sender year, the system uses the fiscal year variant associated to your FM Area. To calculate the period, the system adds the number special periods to the last 'normal' period defined in the fiscal year variant.

Technically, the system reads table T009 and adds values of fields ANZBP and ANZSP together.

hope this answers your questions
