Hello Gurus,
When I post something in FM from FI or MM module for a combination of Fund/Fund Centre/Budget Period/Commitment Item and there is no budget maintained for that combination then system does not display those postings in reports FMB_PT01 - Totals Records and FMB_PL01 - Line Items.
The moment I do some Budget entry using transaction FMBBC for that combination all the FM postings start appearing in those FM reports.
Why it is so. Is there anything related to Budget Structure/Budget Address Configuration. I do not not want to make use of Budget Addresses and Posting Addresses. Currently I am using Budget addresses and also I have executed transaction FMBSBO_MULT - Mass Processing for maintaining the Budget Addresses. Is it because of this but I assumed that it is necessary to do so otherwise we willnot be able to post.
Please explain me the connection between Budget Adresses/Posting Addresses with Postings in FM from different modules.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards

Hi,
First of all: budget and posting addresses are the terms which correspond to the usage of the budget structure. Basically, using this feature allows you to control allowable combinations of FM assignments both posting- and budget-wise. Additionally, usage of budget structure allows you to define budget address derivation strategy in a way, that you might post in one combination, but the budget will be checked against another combination. By the way, similar results can be achieved also by AVC derivation strategy, but the principle is different. In theory, you can manage your budget without budget structure, though it could be useful. You can find more on budget structure on SCN or help.sap.com.
As for your question regarding the reports... These reports are based, first of all, on budgetary data, against which the consumption is checked. I.e. the reports starts the extraction from budgetary tables (FMBDT) and checks the consumption (FMIT) for the combinations it found. Additionally, these reports are good only if you use PBET in your FM update profile. If you want to simply see totals, you'd better use FMRP_RW_BUDCON report.

PBET is not a profile but a setting for a profile. We commonly use 000102 based on US State and Local Government requirements. To activate PBET you can go into OF39 Override Update Profile. Select By Update Profile from the left hand menu. After entering the profile you can select Periodic Based (PBET) or Fiscal Year Based (Annual).
Thanks
