SAP Funds Management: Posting actuals in SAP FM but NO posting in SAP FI

[stefandums]

Is there a chance to post only in SAP FM but without integration to SAP FI? We want to record only incoming and outgoing payment transactions. Very simple.

I saw that the Cash desk has got a very similar functionality. In our case it wouldn't be cash payments but payments initiated from other governmental departments which are centrally not only paid but also checked against the budget.

We could just use the cash desk as well if there is a BAPI or Webservice which we can use to record the incoming and outgoing payments.

thx

Hi Stefan,

All earmarked funds post in FM without creating a financial document. The best one to use as independent consumption is Funds Block (FMW1). It all depends on your business needs, which I might say, are not quite clear from your description. I don't understand a connection of incoming/outgoing payments to budget. If those payments occur in another system and you want just to update SAP with this information, why would you do it via FM document and not via FI one? Also, payments as such are the last link in the chain of the documents flow and your budget should have been impacted well beforehand.

Regards,

Eli

Stefan, we use transaction FMWA for this exact purpose. Something you might want to look into.

thx for your answer

the aim is that the central paying organisation - a kind of an inhouse bank - acts similar to a highstreet bank: it will receive payment instructions from a long list of government agencies who are all holding an account with this 'inhouse bank'.

As this house bank also know every single budget of every single agency and commitment, and the payment instruction contains all information to determine the fund to be deducted, in the course of settling these payment instructions there shall be first a check and if positive the reduction of the available amount and then settlement via the central bank. We want only to check the commitment item in SAP FM and update. The settlement of the payment is done outside SAP.

Is there a BAPI or Webservice equivalent to transaction FMWA?

many thx
