Down payment as commitment

[Former Member]

Hi,

We implemented fund management in system. Now we are posting advances in F-48, the amount consumed from budget and treated as actual expenses but i need all advances as commitment and at the same time it has to check the availability of budget also.

I used update profile 350 and 101 but in both scenarios the advace amount as an actual instead of Commitment.

Please provide solutions.

Dear Sre,

I am afraid that the answer above is not related to PSM actual concept, but FI one.

Down payment should be updated in FM and should decrease the utilization of the PO commitment budget. This is the standard functionality.

Down payment should be updated in FM with value type 61. Thus, the line with posting key 29 [MUST HAVE] a commitment item with financial transaction 30. Down payment will decrease the utilization of the PO commitment budget.

In addition, with down payments or down payment requests which reference a purchase order, the commitment item is [ALWAYS] transferred from the purchase order irrespective of which commitment item is assigned to the given reconciliation accounts.

SAP also recommends that you do not assign commitment items to the "Down payment request" and "Down payment" reconciliation accounts, but that you enter the FM account assignment manually or copy them from the previous document (example: from the purchase order or earmarked fund). The system should copy the PO's commitment item into line item with posting key 29. However, you should check if you have any rule in FMDERIVE which can be changing the value of the copied commitment

item.

I hope it helps

Hi,

Using update profile 101, we do not want down payment/request (f-47/f-48) with reference to a PO, to update the budget.

In fact, as down payment in FI is more or less :

(deb) 4xxx, spec. vendor subaccount / (cred) 5xxx (bank subaccount)

We try to post to Commitment Item with financial transaction <> 30, to post as statistical, but we still have the reduction in the PO.

I have read note 37289 but I still do not understand why it should be mandatory that FM is updated for down payment.

Unless having mislooked, every update profile provided by SAP update the preceding document.

Could somebody explain me why or tell me how to cancel the PO impact (without modifying update profile in V_FMUP01)?

Hi,

Down payment is actual; commitments are earmarked funds and logistic documents (PR/PO). For the AVC logic for down payments check note 37289.
