Hi

If you want to use budget period object as month/period, you can derive Budget period objects based on posting date. For example:

Source objects are: FM Area, Company code, From Posting date To Posting Date

Target objects: Budget Period.

Hope this will to understand...

Hi Rao

Thank you very much for your reply.

Do you means that I need to use Derivation Rule from field 'POSTING_DATE' to 'POSTING_DATE' with the  T-CODE FMDERIVE. After that what shoule I set the posting date in the T-CODE FMDERIVER. Would you please tell me , Thank you very much.

Hi Sam

Yes correct, I am giving some example here;

Source fields:                                                                                                 Target

FM area     Company Code      From Posting date To Posting date                     Budget Period

xxxx             xxxxx                  01.07.2012              31.07.2012              =           BP April

If the document falls above posting date then system would derive BP April. Like that you can maintain remaining periods.

Hope now u r clear.

It's much more useful to develop a simple code, which will derive a month from posting date and store it in budget period. Otherwise, you'll have to maintain rules for every year and month: not very efficient.

Hi,

You have to define a rule of type 'enhancement'. It will take you to ABAP screen. Ask a help from your ABAPer to derive month from posting date and put it in budget period field.
