MIRO invoice posting - Unplanned delivery cost through Derivation rules

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

We are implemented FM-BCS with period wise Budget control.

As per our Configuration settings FM document (OFUP) is generating at GR level. If any IR value exceeds PO value Budget will check and consumed PO budget period object ( in the case of Un-planned delivery cost scenario).

We have observed that at the time of MIRO posting with unplanned delivery cost amount, system is picking Budget Period object for unplanned delivery cost amount from PO, instead of current period Budget Object (through derivation rules) , as explained below:

Example:

PR, PO, GR value - Rs.100 with Budget Period Object 'A'

IR Value - Rs.120 (including unplanned delivery cost of Rs. 20) Budget period object 'A'

For the above sceneraio In the exisrting system at the time of IR posting with unplanned delivery cost system is picking Budget Priod object 'A' (from PO) for Rs. 20/-. But as per our Business requirement this 20/- need to be deducted from current Budget period object (based on the MIRO posting date through derivation rules not PO budget period object).

As per Business requirement in case of MIRO posting with unplanned delivery cost system need to consume additional budget from currrent available budget period based on the Derivation rules.

Expecting Results:

Example:

PR, PO, GR value - Rs.100 with Budget Period Object 'A'

IR Value - Rs.120 (including unplanned delivery cost of Rs. 20) Budget period object 'B'

Kindly suggest....

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

During posting of GR/IR the original FM assignment from the PO must be copied regardless of the definitions in FMDERIVE in order to avoid inconsistencies in the system. So, budget period which is in PO will be copied to the invoice.

Hi Eli

Thanks for the quick and valuable information,

But I have a query on this: if PO is created in 2011 fiscal year with 'April month Budget period object, due to some business reasons if IR will be posted May 2012.

For the above scenerio If IR value is exceeds the PO value ( in case of Unplanned delivery cost scenario), then we need to give additional budget in 2011 with 'April month Budget period' object, which is practially not possible and also it may impact on Business. Since Budget will be allocated on yearly basis.

Kindly suggest and revert on the above scenario.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm afraid there is no way out from this: FM assignment must remain the same and this stands also for budget period. Of course, I'm speaking of standard flow; a modification is always possible, though not very recommended.
