EA-PS activation concern

[Former Member]

Hello gurus

Our ECC 6.0 system supports in a single production client 2

companies: "Agro" and "Bebidas"; one of these companies "Agro" is

working for activate Funds management functionality, for that reason

they already activated in DEV system (ALD) the EA-PS enterprise

extension; however the other company "Bebidas" doesn't want to use this

functionality, because during the past when the system was a 4.0B

version, it generates a lot of documents for example in tables like

FCABP, for that reason during the upgrade this functionality (FM) was

deactivated.

We want to know if is feasible to activate EA-PS and FM module only for

one company code and what impact in terms of functionality and others (e.g new tables) it will have in the other company code

and in general in the whole system.

Thanks in advanced.

Best regards

Hi,

Fund management is activated on client-level. Though, if you have company code which is not supposed to use FM, you can create a separate FM area for it and within this FM area, FM documents won't be created, as you will be assigning dummy FM objects to all postings.

Hi,

Unfortunately the activation of EA-PS is per client, not per company code. When you activate PSM-FM

(funds management) it is active for all the client (instance of the system).

In case you have cross company code postings, and one company have FM area and the other one does not have FM area and the minimum customizing settings, it will not work and you will receive error FI011.

If you want to post an accounting document from a company code with a activated funds management to a company code without an actived funds management, the error message FI011 will appear.

It is not possible to post this document. Currently, it is not possible to split the FM posting among active and unactive organizations within the same posting; furthermore, there are no plans to change this restriction.

Funds Management does not allow multiple company code/plants posting when not all company code/FM areas are active in FM. In other words, if you post using two company codes, both organizations MUST be active because from this posting, one or multiple FM documents will be generated.

In both of the company codes the funds management has to be activated.

Even if the posting is not FM relevant, there is no way to avoid the fact that all the company codes used in cross company postings need to be assigned to an FM area.

In the case of cross-company-code Funds Management, you can combine several company codes in a single FM area.

You must assign all the company codes in question to the same FM area.

In this case you have to maintain a minimal Customizing (including account assignment), in case of nothing should happen in the

second company code. But without a assignment of a FM area, it is not possible.

You have two options. The first one, is to to split manually this posting into two using the company code (without FM active) for one and company code (with FM active) for another one.

I hope you understand that there are many restrictions within the source code and logically for not to do the kind of scenario that you are describing, it is not only the error message displayed but the FM updating as well as the FM account assignment derivation among other restrictions.

Another option is available in the SAP note 122581, please read it carefully. So, you can split manually the posting or create a dummy FM Area to the company codes without FM active.

Please also check documentation in the IMG Activity:

Funds Management Government->Actual and Commitment Update/Integration

Activate/Deactivate Funds Management

I believe that this answer your inquiry.

Best Regards,

Vanessa.
