Funds Management-Budget Carry Forward

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was doing testing for open item commitment carry forward along with Budget (FMJ2). In the selection screen, there is a drop down for Availability Control, When I Select Check and execute..

1) I get errror message.. Budget "Annual Budget Exceeded by ......" . This message shld not appear as budget from CY is to be transffered to New Year.

2) Then I executed FMJ2 again but this time I in Availability Control.. I selected Update without check.. this time there was no error and I could post it. But here the problem is when i see the report for Year 2009 (new year)FMRP_RW_BUDCON - Budget Control System (BCS) -> Budget -> Overview of Budget Consumption , Consumable bugdet is 0, Current bugdet has value carried forward, available budget is in negative.

I have release strategy for budget, but not for budget type carried forward.

What could be the problem...How shld I solve this???

Thanks & Regards,

Jyoti

Hi Jyoti,

Try to implement note 946690 just in case. But the solution for your problem is in note 973697.

Also, look at the note 1037571 for further info of using no AVC check option while performing FMJ2 with budget.

Hi Jyoti,

Let me understand: when you switch off the AVC and do the CF, do you see the budget afterwards in the system? That means, if the budget document is created, but simply is not released, or you do not have a budget document at all?

Hi Eli,

I can see 3 Budget Documents after I exexute FMJ2

1) BCS Entry document for Year 2009

2) Budget Change Document for Year 2009

3) Budget Change Document for Year 2008

And in the document budget type appearing is Budget..not released. Budget type is CFWD i.e. carry forward.

I am not using release for budget category CFWD, so why it is not released automatically..

Thanks & Regards,

Jyoti

Hi,

OK, so why won't you use release scenarion for this budget type? Also, please check the BUVALTPRO table, to verify that for carry-forward process, auto-release is switched.

Hi ELi,

I have checked the table BUVALTPRO, automatic release is checked for carry forward process.

Why I m not using release for this:

1) IN FMJ2, I would like to choose Availaibility control as check, if I do this i'll get error message as release is done after I do carry forward.

2) Budget is already released for open items in old year, so it would not make sense to release it again.

3) Now, I have activated consistency check for Negative budget, so when I execute FMJ2, it does not allow me post even if I choose update wihout check and I get the message : "The current budget for budget type CFWD is negative"

Does it has anything to do with

IMG/PSM/FM Govt/Closing Operations/Closing operation for BCS/Set Up Automatic Budget Postings After Fiscal Year Change -

what's d use of this?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jyoti,

For constistency check, you can simply put a prerequisite, so certain budget types won't be checked.

The release was done in one budget type, and now you're using another one for carry-forward.

Regarding your question, I cannot help you on this one: I'm using 5.0 and this functionality is for 6.0. Try to play with it, maybe it will solve your issue.
