Funds Management - Wrong Account Assignment getting cleared in PR

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are working on Funds Management implementation at our workplace and we are facing a problem relating to account assignment. (SAP ECC 6.0)

We have defined a Account Assignment Derivation for a material as

Material Number = A100 assigned to Commitment Item = ComItem1 and Funds Center = FunCen1.

Now during the creation of a PR for A100, where the Funds Center and Commitment Item fields are mandatory, the wrong commitment item is automatically getting populated (ComItem2 that was defined under a different Funds Center, instead of ComItem1 ;but the fund center field in the PR is alright) and they are also getting passed right up to the MIRO stage, where I get the message "No Commitment Item entered in Item" (here too the wrong funds center and commitment item from the PR are getting populated automatically)

What's worse is that the budget document contains the new commitment item ComItem2 created under FunCen1.

I am not clear as to where the assignment to the funds center and the commitment item in the PR happens - and given that the assignment is given as required, how are the wrong values getting populated and then allowed to proceed upto MIRO ?

Hi,

Though, as mentioned above, it's a wrong forum, I'll answer you here as I don't see that you reposted your question. The derivation of FM objects is done either with the assignment within master data, e.g. G/L is assigned to commitment item, or, more frequently, via the derivation strategy (FMDERIVE transaction). If you want to know how the objects were derived during your primar documents, e.g. PR, you have to set a trace in FMDERIVE; there, you will be able to see if the rules you have defined are duly executed.

Hi Eli Klovsky,

Thanks for the suggestion - was helpful to find out the target fields through the trace.

We went to the details column for the target field in the rule definition structure, and activated the "Overwrite with New Value" field, and in this case, the new values of fund center and commitment item are getting over-written.

However, one problem I have faced is that for materials which have no assignments, when we create the PR on the same line as that of the previous PR (By changing the material number), the old values are not getting replaced. They are however getting replaced once we come back and create a new PR, or add the material on another line.

Have to explore this better - there might be some human errors, where the material number is changed on the same line as that of the previous material PR, in which case, the existence of the previous commitment item and fund centers can result in wrong allocations to other divisions..

@All,

Really sorry to be continuing this discussion here, is it possible to move this to the appropriate Public Sector group ?
