Deactivation of Commitment Budget

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please let me know the process to deactivate the budget check. I have selected ledger not active now when I try to edit an old PO is giving error that period 1 of previous is not open for commitment budget. I do not want this error

Hi,

I'm not sure what error exactly you are getting, but keep in mind, that deactivation of AVC ledger is not the same as deactivation of a budget category, as commitment budget is. I believe, the error you have in mind is connected to FMIR transaction, where you open periods for FM actual postings. Even if you deactivate 9H ledger for commitment budget check, the postings in 9G and 9B ledgers for budget and actuals, will still be active.

Yes the problem is with FMIR. I know opening the previous in FMIR will not have any harm. Is there a possibility of completely deactivating the commitment budget.

Not after you have postings in your FM area. Budget category usage is defined in BCS settings (for budgetary part) and via Update profile (for actual/commitments part).

After I have deleted the commitment and actual data and run FMAVCREINIT also ??

This would never harm In any case, if it's just a test system and you are free to change the customization, then you have to do the following:

a) delete 'commitment budget' category from BCS budget entry settings

b) set an update profile, which updates only payment budget

c) modify AVC settings
