GM and non-budget relevant transactions

[former_member211711]

Hello forum

We have configured GL accounts with GM value type update rules (VT, real/statistical, derived by processor or directly).

But sometimes a GL account which would normally have a real budget effect in GM is also used in an accrual posting (eg provisions).

In FM we can assign a statistical commitment item based on the document type. But in GM it is not possible to change this behaviour via the derivation strategy - at least as far as we can see.

Has anyone else faced this issue and can suggest a solution?

Many thanks for all your useful hints to now,

Aleksey,

This can be done using the BADI GM_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES to change the flag RSTAT_IND to S.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the reply - so this is the only way? We have so many BADI as it is for GM, and it's done easily in FM..

Not a good SAP solution, is it.

Aleksey,

In your case I thought the BADI works best.

As you said "But sometimes a GL account which would normally have a real budget effect in GM is also used in an accrual posting (eg provisions)."

The other way would be to substitute the GL Account which is not very different from the commitment item. Another way would be to keep the accrual real but exempt it from AVC and billing (it is reversed in the next period anyway).

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

The other way would be to substitute the GL Account

do you mean substitute in GM derivation, or where?

I was thinking of FI substitutions. GM is an FI Special Purpose Ledger.

Thanks
