Unable to derive funds center in F-90 Asset purchase from vendor

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have maintained the fund center value in the asset master and also maintained the derviation rule in FMDERIVER for a combination of Cost Center > Funds Center.

When i try to post asset purchase using F-90 t-code, it is asking me for funds center in the asset line item. The system is not deriving the value from asset master or derivation rule maintained. I am unable to maintain the funds center in the posting as the field is grayed out.

Request you to kindly provide your valuable suggestion.

Best regards

Hi,

Go to FMDERIVE and activate a trace, before trying to post the transaction, to verify that the fund centre is derived correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, the Trace is active for the derivation rule. But still the funds center is not derived for the asset. the asset master is maintained with the funds center value.

Please suggest.

Putting a trace won't make it derived, but will give you an idea where it's set back to null. Please, analyze the log of the FMDERIVE trace.

If derivation steps exist in your derivation strategy for the derivation of fund, you must have defined for the respective target field as field attribute that the new value is not transferred if a value already exists.

Hello,

The fund center has to be activated for Account Assignment Type 01 (APC Value Posting)

Maybe note 437076 could help to check the settings in the following IMG activity :

Activate the account assignment elements for each transaction and

account assignment type:

Asset Accounting -> Integration with the General Ledger ->

Additional Account Assignment Objects -> Define Account

Assignment Types for Account Assignment Objects

I hope it helps,

Hi Helene,

Thank you for the reply. Appreciate it!!

I have activated the funds center in "Additional Account Assignment in Asset Accounting" and also maintained the relevant transaction type for Funds Center. and enable "APC value posting" I created a Asset and assigned it to cost center and at the same time assigned it to the correct funds center. Then, i tried F-90 for the asset, still the system cannot derive the funds center. I am unsure why this is happening,

Please guide.

Hi Abishay,

Hello,

You can also create derivation strategy to derivate funds centre from cost centre of asset master data such as:

1. FMDERIVE choose function module

2. Select function module "read Asset Master Data"

3. as target field, set KOSTL = Funds centre

4. save your entries

Then system will derivate funds centre from cost centre of asset master data.

Hello,

Fund management and Asset accounting have a specific relationships.

Check these activities:

Assign a statistical commitment item for every transaction type (statistical postings)

define whether a transaction type is relevant to the budget in the Customizing of FMDERIVE.

I think this note will be useful for your case - SAP Note No. 736914.

Good luck!
