PO Encumbrances for FY 2010

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

What is the process in SRM 5.0 for entering a PO for FY2010

and having the encumbrance for that PO hit the fund/WBS element-

commitment item in FY2010 instead of FY2009 ?

We are using the Extendend Classic scenario and ECC 6.0 .

PO commitments will be done in the backend.

Thanks,

Bob,

we are using SRM 5.5 and the commitment in the backed system is controlled by the expected delivery Date in the shopping cart that is transferred to the PO for each item.

If you want the commitments for a PO to hit the next FY then the expected delivery date needs to be in that FY.

Must note that when delivery confirmation is entered the commitment is turned into an actual in the month that the confirmation is entered.

We had our ABAP guys modify our SRM confirmation entry/transfer to backend system so that users can change the posting date of the confirmation.

We did this to allow back posting of confirmations until the period is closed, after which they would get an error message. So now in our system the delivery performance date is the posting date in the back end system.

Hope this info is what you are looking for?
