How to activate FM Value Adjustment Required?

[Former Member]

Hi,
We are currently using SAP Funds
Management module. We want to start to
use transactions FMZPM1 and FMXPM1 to
be able to better monitor the
changes in earmarked funds.

In SPRO path
“Public Sector Management – Funds Management Government –
Funds
Management-Specific Postings – Earmarked Funds and Funds
Transfers – Maintain
Global Settings” I have activated “Value
adjustment docs required”. Moreover,
in SPRO path “Public Sector
Management – Funds Management Government – Funds
Management-Specific
Postings – Earmarked Funds and Funds Transfers – Field
Control for
Earmarked Funds and Funds Transfers – Define Field Selection
String “
the Indicator: Amount Change Only with Value Adjust.,” is set
as
Optional Entry.

However, when trying to make a posting with FMZPM1,
I still get an
error message RE237 – There are no provisions for value
adjustment docs
for earmarked fund 22, and as diagnosis: “You want to enter a
value
adjustment for the earmarked fund 22. However, this is not
possible
since the indicator Value adjustment required is not
set.”

When I look at the transactions FMZ1 and FMZ3, I am not able to see
any
field “Value adjustment required”. In SAP help text linked below, it
is
said:

Prerequisites
• To be able to use value adjustments, you
must activate this
function in the implementation guide (IMG) of Funds
Management
Government , under Funds Management-Specific Postings Earmarked
Funds
and Funds Transfers Maintain Global Settings .
• You must also set
the indicator Value Adjustment Required to
the document item level of the
earmarked funds documents. If the
document is workflow relevant, you must set
the indicator in workflow

Are
there any additional steps that are needed to activate the
indicator Value
Adjustment Required?

Hi,

Were these earmarked funds created after or before you activated the flag in Global settings? Documents created before this activation won't show any 'Value adjustment required' flags in the display screen.

Hi,

thanks a lot for reply!

Now that I have created an earmarked fund with FMZ1 after activating the setting, and ticked "the Value adjustment required" flag with FMZ2, I am able to use FMZPM1. This seems to satisfy our basic requirement.

But I am not yet completely ok with this. Initially, the "Value Adjustment required" was set as "Optional" in the Field selection string for Field Selection "MITTELVORM" (Earmarked funds without CO) that we use in this case. As a result, I was not able to see the flag at all in FMZ1 and FMZ2. When I changed the field status group of this field into "Display", the field appeared as grey in FMZ1 and editable in FMZ2. With this field, there is no option "Mandatory".

However, our target process is to make this field mandatory for all future value changes in earmarked funds. That way, only FMZPM1 could be used for changing their values without the user having to remember to add the tick in FMZ2, since that is an additional step which the users would likely forget. I guess this cannot be done within the standard system, what would be the best way to create an enhancement for this?

Hi,

You can try and use FMRESERV enhancement. With EXIT_SAPLFMFR_001 user-exit you can try and set the field to be mandatory (maybe, you will succeed). And by EXIT_SAPLFMFR_002 you should be able to force 'X' value for the lines in question. Also, check other user-exits in this enhancement; they can be useful as well.

Thank you! We will investigate this possibility.
