Commitement Values in PS

[#1]

Hi,

We are using both SAP and other system in our scenario. With SAP, we do project structure creation and budgeting. However project accounting related activities like PO, GRN are done in other external system.  As we are not using MM, POs are not replicated in SAP. However for budget control, we need to update commitment values in SAP. To update commitment values, we are planning to use funds commitment using FMZ1 tcode. by using this, commitments get updated and also the budget report looks ok. To update the actual costs in SAP against a project, we do financial posting against a WBS with a value equal to GRN value in other system. While posting this journal entry, is there any way we can refer the funds commitment value created for WBS earlier, so that commitment value reduces as of actual cost. One work around  I am looking is, while posting journal entry, I should first reduce the commitment value and then post the same amount.

Please let me know if you have solution to this.

Hi,

I understood how to reduce the commitments manually in FMZ6 tcode. I would like to know if we can refer commitment documents during FI hournal entry

Hi,

What type of "Value type" is being created when you are using fund commitments. What I mean, value type 21 for PR is generated either from Project builder or ME51N.

Check in CJI5 or table EBAN for commitments if any created through FMZ1. Not sure.

Hi,

The commitments are updated with Value type 24 i.e Funds Commitment
