Automatic update of BP commitments

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have some doubts concerning the commitments updates in the Business Partner. After checking some SAP manuals we have understood that it is importante to run UKM_COMMITMENTS, UKM_TRANSFER_ITEMS and UKM_RVKRED77 to update the commitments.

After some tests we have concluded that credit exposure type 100 and 400 are automatically updated when creating sales orders and deliveries. However, when creating billing documents exposures are not automatically updated and it is necessary to run UKM_TRANSFER_ITEMS.
So should all these programs be set and background jobs that run periodically? Or some of them are used only when there are some problems in the commitments update? In which situations are commitments updated automatically and in which aren't and it is importante to run the programs/ transactions indicated above?

Thanks in advance,

We have figured out that both FI documents and SD documents can automatically update the commitment with no need to run any program.

Hi Margarida,

that sounds very interesting, you are saying that you could manage to get the update of AR Open Items (Liability) without running periodically  the report UKM_TRANSFER_ITEMS? Could you tell us how?

I guess you mean the note 1693145.
