Can we make group of G/Ls(commitment item) in BCS

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I want to know that can we make G/Ls group in BCS for tracking budget, in existing scenario we are tracking budget for service purchases.

We assigned budget for All G/L(commitment item) separately but there are so many G/L account exist  and user never give budget G/L level.

So can we create a group of G/Ls(commitment item) and assign budget on group level. But when user create a PR/PO the system should deduct budget from respective G/L which was already assigned at group level.

Hi Mukesh,

Yes you can group for accounts that you want assign. For example. You can create a commitment item for 3 account and entry budget for this.

PR and PO deduct budget but this is depend your value type customizing in of39.

Hi,

You can use superior commitment item in FMCIA to group. Then you should create derivation rule in FMDERIVE to consume budget when users create PR and PO by superior commitment item.

Hi,

You have two options:

a) work with budget structure and derive budget address, either by creating a rule for each line or making more sophisticated rule reading superior commitment item from master data of posting CI

b) work with control objects in AVC. The concept is more or less the same as with budgetary structure

P.S. FMDERIVE suggested by Yasin is a bit problematic: it would not only consume the budget on the superior CI, but also post on it. I.e. you will loose in your FM history the original FM assignment. Normally, this comes against with client's requirements. That's why there is a solution of budget structure and/or AVC control objects

P.P.S. ... and a small advertisement. If you want to see how things are working for FM configuration, you can consult this blog
