FM-BCS Implementation in the Middle of the Financial Year

Former Member
0 Kudos

Dear Expert Team

We are newly implementing FM-BCS in the middle of Financial Year 2011-12 i.e. on 15th June 2011.

We request you to clarify on below points:

1. We have observed FM-BCS activation is FROM Year only. There is no FROM Date option.

2. What is treatment of Documents which are posted from 1st April 2011 to 14th June 2011. (i.e. these documents are posted without Account Assignment objects like Fund Center, Commitment Item).

3. When we try to modify/change the already posted Documents (in the period from 1st April 2011 to 14th June 2011); whether system will check the 'Budget Availability Control' or not.

4. What is treatment of Document Reversal happened after FM Activation.

5. Please suggest other impact if any.

Thanks and Regards

PVSRG

Hi,

1. The year you refer to is the year of BCS activation, not of FM. FM will be active in the system with no date dependency as soon as you switch FM flag.

2. You will have to build reassignment strategy for the old documents without FM assignment, if they are to be changed/used in the future

3. It's up to you; you can define it in several ways. For example, for 'old' data you can deviate them to dummy FM addresses with no AVC check.

4. Normal treatment; don't see the point...

5. Please, search SDN; there were questions regarding FM activation in the past

Dear Eli

We request you to elaborate

Point No. 2: "You will have to build reassignment strategy for the old documents without FM assignment, if they are to be changed/used in the future"

Point No. 3: "It's up to you; you can define it in several ways. For example, for 'old' data you can deviate them to dummy FM addresses with no AVC check." - In our requirement the Old Data means, Actual Postings being happened from 1st Day of Financial Year till FM-BCS Implementation Date in the current financial year.

We also request you to clarify on : How to bring the Documents Posted from 1st Day of Financial Year till FM-BCS Implementation Date in the current financial year; into FM-BCS environment and its effect.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Reassignment strategy (FMYC); reassignment transactions FMCG, FMCB, FMCT. Please, read about the reassignments on help.sap.com or search SDN.

Reconstruction of FM documents is possible via special programs (FMN0, FMN5N, FMN3N, FMN4N).

However, I'd recommend activating the budget from certain point, with no history taken aboard. This is more easy and more practical approach. You can upload the remaining budget of the cut-off date and start consuming it with the new documents. Only documents in 'open' status - those which could be still processed - will require special treatment of assigning them to FM objects.

Dear Eli

Thank you for your reply.

We request you to clarify the following:

1. What is the 'Reconstruction' and in what situations we have to following the Reconstruction process.

2. What is the 'Reassignment' and what is the use of the same.

Thanks and Regards
