Financial transactions and value type

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

In SAP-HELP I found that: "The commitment items with other financial transactions (not 30), 40, 60 and 90, control with which value type a posting is recorded and under which business transaction it is displayed in the information system."

Please advise me where I can find for each financial transaction: which value type is determened, and which business transaction is displayed ?

Thanks

Take a look at the following information under Sap Help if you have not already done so.

Value type and business transaction..

I don't think that there is a list or guide which indicates for each financial transaction, what value types are used and for which business transactions.

The financial transaction is part of master data of commitment items. Certain type of commitment items can only be used with certain type of business transactions. It is the business transactions which are linked to the value types.

For instance the financial transaction 90 is used for cash/bank clearing commitment items. I cannot (or shouldn't) use a cash account in a business transaction for a purchase order (value type 51). When you use a commitement item in a purchase order created in materials management, you want that commitment item to have a financial transaction 30, so that it will update funds management. This is just a basic example. I hope this help some.

Hello,

Please kindly check the following menu in help.sap.com:

Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Recording Actual and Commitment Data -> Update Control -> Update Control: Financial Transaction and Value Type

There you will find all the information about value types and financial transactions.

Please check all the information available also under the principal menu Public Sector Management -> Funds Management -> Recording Actual and Commitment Data.

By the way, these both fields you will find in commitment item master data, transaction FMCIA and there in F1 help you will find more information.

I hope it helps you in your issue

Best Regards,

Vanessa Barth.
