Budget check during outgoing payment using t.codef-53

[Former Member]

Dear All

My clients requirement is he wants to check budget during outgoing payment using t.code f-53 please suggest how to do that

Moreover clients wants that outgoing payment should be controlled location wise for eg if Profit Center A has limit of 100000 user should not be able to post amount more than that and in location/profit center B limit is of 50000 same should happen user should not be able to process with transaction if the amount is exceeding the limit

My question to you all is can be do that with FM budget(BCS) or can it be directly done in FI module by some validation

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you have PSM-FM, then you should think more in terms of fund centres, rather than profit centres. In any case, first you have to check where FI documents flow to FM (if at all) during your usage of F-53 transaction. To do this, set a trace in FMDERIVE and execute F-53: you will be able to see to which fund centre/commitment item and other (if any) FM objects the transaction is posted. Knowning this, you will be able to see if this budgetary position is correct, if it's AVC-relevant (CI is not statistical and of the right type), etc.

However, keep in mind, that your payment budget should be already consumed by the invoice (or payment request); thus, outgoing payment should not have any additional effect on your budget. Not to speak about funcitonal point: having a posted invoice and not paying it is a bit of a problem. You should check your budget on earlier phases, rather than during the payment.

Thanks Eli for your respose can you suggest some validation which can be used in FI for the same.

Thanks in advance

What type of validation? Of course, you can build a budget-checking mechanism in PCA, but this will be a develoment (user-exit in validation).

Hi Eli

My clients requirement is to stop user making a more payment than what that particular location got. Location in my system is profit center. If for eg i want from profit center A by using T.code f-53 should not be able to post the payment more than Say 10000 in a month how to do that in FI.

I want validation for that which i can use in T.code f-53

Thanks in advance

Hi,

There is no standard validation. Either you use mechanism of Funds Management (in this case, follow the advice I already gave) or you create your own development to make these checks in CO (not recommended).

hi.. is there no way where we can have active budget control during Payment to check Payment budget?

we have a scenario like, at present Cash budget (payment) budget for 2012 is getting consumed for Invoice posting in 2012, where as actual payment is in 2013. but all the budget check is in 2012 only.

where as actually the cash budget of 2013 should have been consumed.
