SAP FM Activation ECC 6.0

[former_member276285]

Hi,

There is a problem that i am facing is activation SAP FM module in ECC 6.0

My sap fm version : EA-PS 604 0005 SAPK-60405INEAPS SAP Enterprise Extension Public Services

The Error information ; (OSS notes for old versions) and

General Ledger Accounting Customizing must be adjusted (see long text)

Message no. FMGENERIC005

Diagnosis

The system has already found existing ledgers. Either standard scenarios or customer fields are assigned to these ledgers. Customizing for New General Ledger Accounting must therefore be adjusted.

Note:

Technically, when Funds Management is activated, the application indicator, which amongst other things is used to identify the general ledger, is set from GLF to PSM.

System Response

It is not necessary to activate Funds Management.

Procedure

Perform the following activities: These do not happen automatically so that you can decide whether existing ledgers should still be used in Funds Management.

You have two options:

You want to keep the existing ledgers. Run report FMGL_CHANGE_APPL_IN_LEDGER (compare SAP notes 834815, 840783 and 906397). This report assigns the existing ledgers to Funds Management.

You want to create new ledgers after activating FM. To do this, perform the following steps:

a) Delete the assignment between Scenarios and Ledgers.

b) Delete All Assignments Customer Fields to Ledgers.

c) Activate Funds Management.

d) Create a new ledger and assign it to these Scenarios and Customer Fields.

Technical Background

Once you have activated Public Sector Management, you may no longer see existing ledgers of the application (GLF) even though they still exist in the Customizing tables. Settings in the ledger for Customizing are used to generate coding (such as field transfers). The steps mentioned here are necessary so that coding is not created for ledgers that are not used.

Hello as suggested by the message, read the note 840783 and depending on your scenario apply the notes 906397, 1386675.

Best regards
