Funds Mangement - Closing Operations ( Commitment /Budget Carry forward)

47 Views

SAP Help says - It is not necessary to carry out closing operations with the fiscal year change in the system if you do not use period-based encumbrance tracking or, whilst using the Budget Control System, have activated multi-year budget execution. If you therefore decide not to carry out closing operations, budget already used remains in the old fiscal year and cannot be used in the new fiscal year. Open commitments are correctly reduced in the old fiscal year if you process them further in the new. (For example, a purchase order from 2005 can be reduced by an invoice arriving in 2006.).

Question1: I have a purchase requisition in F.Y 2007, now i am creating PO in 2008, it is reducing the commitment of 2007' PR but the PO is consuming 2008 budget only ( thats what budget consumption report shows), why is this ?

The carryforward of commitment and budget depends on the Update Profile chosen. It is specified in the update profile whether a carryforward is possible and for which value types (e.g. purchase orders, earmarked funds, invoices) a carryforward may take place.

Question2 I cant really see what is there in a Update Profile ( I can only choose one of the standard profile). How can i see whats there in the update profile ?

Thanks in advance
