Automatic Budget Postings After Fiscal Year Change

[atif_farooq]

Hi:

Automatic budget posting help says that it is required to be configured if we want that carried forward commitment items not to generate budget consumption in new year , instead they consume budget of previous year. To date i have not configured it . I have only activated carry forward of budget commitment for value types

PR

PO

Invoices

DPR

Parked documents

Down payments

and have set the activation status Active. Since i can not test these year end related scenario that is why i am having understanding issues.

Please guide.

Hi Atif

ABP is more relevant if you are using budget releasing functionality. For better understanding on ABP functionality the below threads will help to u.

Hi:

Yes we will use budget release functionality but please note that residual budget carry forward will occur for few of our commitment items/fund centers combination else carrying forward of residual budget is not required. Requirement is to be able to carry forward open commitments related to PR, PO, Invoices , Parked documents to the next year so that when their actual posting occurs budget of only previous year is consumed. I wanted to know if the ABP has anything to do with this of scenario.
