FMCF101 error in MIRO: "Automatic Carryforward is only allowed for amount 0"

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am currently doing some test on a mock environment to get my SAP skills up to speed. Lately I've been experimenting with carry forward of invoices.

In this case, I have to create an invoice at an N+1 date and cancel the amount received in MIGO by using a general account only. While the general account part seems to go great (no related error messages), the N+1 part triggers the blocking message FMCF101 "Automatic Carryforward is only allowed for amount 0".

So far I've only: created an order through ME21N at N date, then MIGO at same date, then attempted MIRO at N+1. No FMJ2 or else. The only thing I did is use MMPI to move the logistic period to january 2017, which is when I am trying to carry the invoice forward to.

Any hints? I checked other related errors but they didn't seem to match my problem.

Thanks!

Hi Eli, thanks for the pointers.

I checked out the note:

2074291 - Error Mess. FMCF101 / FMCF320 - Automatic carryforward.

However, I'm afraid all my invoices will be automatically carried forward if I apply this note. Isn't there a way to authorize a one time carry forward without implementing a permanent note?

A colleague suggested I create an invoice in 2016 to use all the budget up, then modify the existing sales order (ME23N) in 2017 and then create an invoice for the latter amount in 2017. But that's not exactly the test case I'm suppose to do.

Any hints?

It's up to you whether to automate carry-forward or not; it's a setting in carry-forward customisation.

I understand but isn't there a way to authorize a one time carry forward for an amount different than 0 without implementing the note? Or do you mean carry-forward customization is an actual default transaction within sap?

Hi mar thanks for the input!

Can you check the url you posted though? It doesn't seem to be working from either my computer or phone.
