Funds Management, FLG_COMMIT_ITEM_NOT_VALID not working

[eslam_adel]

Dear All

Our client would like to have validation of specific FM Assignment (Commitment item or Fund center) with GL or Cost center

we tried to use FLG_COMMIT_ITEM_NOT_VALID in FMDERIVE,

example using derivation rule

Sender GL (A) and CI (B)

Receiver FLG_COMMIT_ITEM_NOT_VALID (X)

in testing nothing happens although derivation is correct

My Quation is how to use the validation of account assignment using FMDERIVE?

Hi,

Ok, it is more clear indeed. What you have to do is to make a validation in FI and not in FM; i.e. in OB28.

Thanks Eli for your help as always

Sorry for being not clear

here are the full requirements:

in 95% system is deriving the commitment items, only when end user is issuing down-payment, he/she must select the commitment item manually, in this case we need to ensure that the selected CI is valid with specific cost center or profit center or even GL account

in FI we can build a validation and issue an error, but we already have so many validations, therefore we were searching for validation technique in Funds Management

The only check box i found in FMDERIVE is FLG_COMMIT_ITEM_NOT_VALID (X), but i don't know how to use it and even not sure it is a validation method or not

i hope the above is clear enough

Hi,

Can you specify a bit more the business request? FMDERIVE is not served to ensure right or wrong combinations, but to derive an FM object. I.e. based on FL, cost centre, or any other relevant attribute, you can derive commitment item, fund centre, etc. Therefore, the entire concept of validation is irrelevant here.

Hi Eli

thanks for your reply, i was expecting the use of check box of "Invalid Commitment item" is for this purpose as am not able to find any documentation about this check box and also not able to find a way to issue validation error if end user select wrong commitment item in case of down-payment for example, please check the attached screenshot

Still... not clear what you are trying to achieve from business perspective.
