Dear Expert Team
We are using both 'Payment Budget' and 'Commitment Budget'.
While creating the PR and POs, Budget is cnsuming from Commitment Budget only.
But at the time of Actuals posting (GR posting), 2 FM Line Items are created i.e. one for Payment Budget and one for Payment Budget.
As per our expection, at the time of Actuals posting; 'Payment Budget' line item only need to be generated.
And also at the time of FI Direct postings, system is performing AVC Check for bothe the budgets i.e. Payment Budget and Commitment Budget, following 2 FM Actual line items are generated.
Our questions:
1. Whey system is generating FM Actual Line Item for 'Commitment Budget'. As per our expectation, actual FM Line item need to be generated only for Payment Budget only.
2. For FI Direct postings, why system is performing AVC Check for 'Commitment Budget'. As per our expection, it should perform AVC check from 'Payment Budget' only.
We request your kind inputs on the above issue.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
The answer to both of your questions: this is standard behaviour. The posting of 54/60 value types (FI postings) is done on both ledgers - commitment and payment - for update profile 000350.

Hi,
Its a standard behaviour of the system. AVC wil be performed for all commitment item category with 30/3 or 30/2. Irresptive of what postings we perform.

Only in specific postings; setting statistical update for all value type of '54' will have an effect on commitment budget, as PO consumption will free it again, but won't consume it back with GR(IR).

Suppose you have PO, it creates commitment and consumes commitment budget. Then, you have IR (under assumption that it updates the budget) on this PO: PO commitment is reduced by it, but the commitment budget should remain on the same level of availability. It remains on this level, when IR consumes commitment budget, so you have zero-game on CB and consumption on PB.
Please, read carefully SAP material regarding update of the budget for different documents flow.

Eli
