Budget address & posting address in FM-BCS

[atif_farooq]

Hi :

I need clarity about budget structure, client is asking for budget structure in the initial scope definition. I have a confusion regarding conceptual understanding of Budget address and posting address. Suppose i have a fund center A  and 10 Commitment items. IN FMBSBO i create budget address linking these ten commitment items to fund center A, budget structure address is created , now what about posting address , should i create posting address in the same way linking these ten commitment items to fund center A ?. I am confused about posting and budget address logic.

Hi

Yes correct,  If you choose to work with budget structure then you need to run Budget address and Posting address for the required combination of objects before posting, then only system will allow for postings other wise system pass an error message.

Hi

You can define a multi-level BS by setting the corresponding indicator in the FM area. However, this is only possible if you have activated the multi-level BS in Customizing by choosing Activate Multi-Level Budget Structure in the FM area.

With out activating this, you cannot assign mutiple budget structures in single FM Area within the same fiscal year. Budget structure will be assigned for the combination of FM Area, fiscal year and budget structure (Img path: Define Settings for the Budget Structure). So, system will not allow for assigning multiple budget structures in one FM area in the same fiscal year. But it is suggestiable to maintain single budget structure in one fiscla year.

The below link will help to understand the budget structure.
