Hi,
I am working for a public sector company and we are planning to use a new budget software (Non SAP). They want to plan all their budgets in this software and upload the final adopted budget into SAP. They also want to upload all the actual budget data (day to day actual budget documents) on a daily basis from SAP to this new software so that they can do some reporting. They told that they want to have a script in SAP which runs every day downloads the data into company's directory. I want to understand the technical tables, programs and information that would help to execute it.
Also they spoke about during the download of these data, they said some encumbrance documents, any idea what that means.
I am new to public sector company.
Thanks
Shriya

Hi,
Your question is very vague. Simply knowing the table won't be helpful for your task. You have to cooperate with some of your ABAP experts and think of possible ways to upload the budget from different system. There are several options, e.g. generating Excel file, developing special program based on a data file, uploading from BW, etc. Feeding SAP system with budgetary data is not a difficult task, but you have to know the core processes and tables thoroughly.

Thank you Eli, there are two major areas that i am working on now
1) feeding to SAP system with the final adopted budget -- currently they are using some third party tool to upload it but they want to understand if there is an other way to upload it. Could you throw some light on options that you have mentioned abode (excel, developing a spl program on a data file, upload from BW) and also the core processes and tables that you are speaking about
2) other area is downloading the actual data from sap system and storing it in a data file in a company directory, they want a script to be written which can be run in batch jobs daily to download them automatically.
I know that this work involves ABAP folks but as a functional consultant, I have to be in meeting explaining things and want to understand it before i go to ABAP.

Hi,
I'm afraid you will need someone who understands FM, then. I can give you the tables, but it won't help you if you are not familiar with core processes.
FMBDT - budget totals
FMBH - header
FMBL - lines
FMIT - cosumption totals
FMIOI - commitments
FMIFIIT - actuals

Eli

That means to learn about main data flows in PSM-FM, including ABAP programs behind them.
