Fund Management document created at the time of Settlement

[zunaid_hingora2]

Hi Experts,

Our budget consumption process as below.

PR - Budget Consumet

PO - PR budget reversed and Transferred to PO

INVOICE - PO budget reversed and Transferred to Invoice.

This is fine. Problem is after this WBS settlement is done. Now after settlement Budget on Invoice is reversed and budget consumption account is 0 so overall no budget consumed.

How to stop this FM Wbs budget document creation.

Please guide.

Hi Zunaid,

If you do not want the settlement to post to FM you can derive a commitment item with Financial Transaction = 50 for the settlement cost element.

Thanks

Hi,

Is it settlement in CO? In this case, there would be no FI document and FM will be impacted only if you integrated CO with FM. Is it integrated on purpose?

Hi Eli,

This settlement is in WBS. My doubt is at time of settlement why it is creating FM entries. I have never seen such kind of posting. We have one derivation rule for WBS --> WBS.

Please guide.

Settlement creates CO document, which might have an impact on FM if you have integrated FM with CO. You should post screenshot from FMIFIIT table for these activities, so I'll be bale to see what happened exactly.

Hi Shyamal,

So, it's not WBS-to-WBS settlement, as you said. This type of settlement creates FI document and it's normal that you have FM impact. If you want to avoid it, you have to build a derivation rule in FMERIVE, deriving dummy commitment item in case of settlement. You can base it either on the document type or business transaction. You can also use credit/debit indicator as additional parameter if required.

Hi Eli,

Can we use business transaction like CJ88 etc. will it have any negative impact?

Hi Eli,

Business transaction is not SAP transaction. Set a trace in FMDERIVE before settlement, it will show pop-up window will all the incoming values, including business transaction.

Hi Eli,

Will check and get back to you.

Hi Eli,

Mistakenly attached wrong screenshot.

here is correct one.

[iklovski]

Well, looks OK, but it all depends on your business scenario. With this rule both credit AND debit side of settlement document will go to this commitment item. Maybe, you should do it only for 'credit' part, while debit should consume the 'real' FM line. Also, make sure to set 'overwrite' option in the rule, as commitment item should be forced in this case.

[zunaid_hingora2]

Hi Eli,

But if i use only credit , then in case of settlement is reversed will it have any impact.

Hi,

That's up to you to see... I gave credit/debit indicator just as an example. You can combine it with WBS or some other parameter. I guess, the issue is clarified.
