we implemented fi, co, mm, sd, pp and project systems. we want to implement budgeting and control system. what is the exact flow of BCS in between these modules,
BCS is just a tool to manage your budget. What you are asking is more connected to the integration of FM (FUnds management) with other modules. Please, read the information in this link:
When implementing the Funds Management Government component, you should take care to carry out the individual steps in a particular order. You enter the required preconfigurations and functions at different points in the SAP System.
So when implementing Funds Management, you should observe the following sequence:
1. You use the "Enterprise Structure" to create company codes, FM areas, and controlling areas. For more information, see the Enterprise structure IMG in sections:
a) "Define, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code"
b) "Maintain FM Area"
c) "Define, Copy, Delete, Check Controlling Area"
2. You then assign an FM area to each company code and controlling area relevant to Funds Management.
For more information, see sections:
a) Assign company code to FM area
b) Assign controlling area to FM area
3. You create your G/L accounts in the General Ledger Accounting menu. For more information, read the chapter: Create G/L accounts in the G/L accounting IMG (FI-GL) under G/L account master records.
4. Use Financial Accounting customizing to maintain the field status definition groups. These determine which fields in the account can accept input, must be maintained, or are hidden, when you are entering business transactions. For more information, read: "Maintain field status variants" in the Financial Accounting Basic Settings.
Note that the additional account assignments "Commitment item", "Funds center" and "Fund" will only accept input if you mark the relevant fields as required or optional entries. This applies, however, only to G/L accounts whose commitment items are assigned with the 30 such as a revenue account. G/L accounts whose commitment items are assigned with a transaction other than 30 should have the error hidden.
If you want to reference earmarked funds when posting a payment, you must define the additional account assignment "Earmarked funds" as a required or optional entry.
5. Likewise, for Materials Management purchase requisition and purchase order postings which do not go into stock, you must flag the "Commitment item", "Funds center" and "Fund" fields as required or optional entries in order to be able to make entries in them. You can find more information in the Purchasing IMG in section "Maintain account assignment types" .
6. If you want to integrate inventory management with Funds Management, there are different ways of controlling this, depending on the warehouse concept you chose. For more information, go to the Funds Management IMG and read sections Make Other Settings and Integration with Inventory Management.
7. If you want to integrate Assets Accounting, you must go to the Funds Management implementation guide and flag as budget relevant the transaction types for the individual transactions (acquisitions and retirements). You can find more information in the IMG Funds Management Government in the section Flag Transaction Types as Budget Relevant.
8. If you want to integrate Payroll Accounting with Funds Management, you must define funds centers and funds for the individual Infotypes. For more information, see the Funds Management IMG Funds Management Government in the section "Define Start Date for HR Integration (Without HR Commitments Scenario 2)".
9. If you want to integrate Travel Management with Funds Management, the "funds center", "commitment item" and "fund" fields must be ready to accept input when you post in Travel Expense Accounting. You enter these settings in the Travel Management IMG Dialogue and settlement control -> Screen layout for trip data input -> Set up variable construction for account assignment objects.
10. You switch to the Funds Management application menu, create your master data (commitment items, funds centers and funds) and then define your account assignment derivation.
For more information on account assignment derivation in Funds Management, see component Funds Management (PSM-FM) under Account Assignment Derivation as well as section Define Account Assignment Derivation.
For more information on creating master data, see the component Master data in the componentFunds Management (PSM-FM).
11. You can then subsequently make the remaining settings via the Funds Management implementation guide. For more information, read the following chapters.
Further notes
The Funds Management application component can not be used simultaneously with the components Cash Budget Management and/or Project Cash Management if you use year-dependent master data in Funds Management.
If you want to use Funds Management with Cash Budget Management and/or Project Cash Management you must note that Cash Budget Management and Project Cash Management only process 10 character commitment items.
Thanks for excellent reply, but you mentioned "implementing the Funds Management Government component", but ours is a automobile components manufacturer, our task is to configure budgeting, few people suggest me to configure the Fund management, i am more confused, let me know the exact flow of this,
I do not get your point... Funds management is the only dedicated module to manage the budget (there is also budgeting functionality in CO, but i's very restricted). Word 'Government' should not scare you as it's just official name of this component, as it was initially developed for governmental institutes.
