Funds Centers Copy

[former_member491412]

Hello,

has smbd. an experience with funds centers copying from one operating year to another in year dependent master data ?

The problem is : when I export a fund centers from system with a transaction fmsx using customer exit which changes the validity dates from 2007123120070101 to 2008123120080101 in the export file, I will get the mesage by import with fmsy "Funds center XXXXXXX does not match those already present". When I add a new funds center, which we plan to use next year I will get the error message "Funds center YYYYY nonexistent in hierarchy variant 2008".

The question is:

I thought that the exporting the data would be just a sort of help for the import process, where , in the text file, I could make any changes - delete the funds centers I don't need next year, add some new, make some changes in hierarchy etc. It seems not to work at all.

Any workaround ?

Thanx a lot in advance .

Kind Regards

Alexey Voynikov

As @mar_novalbos explained, and as documented in SAP Help Portal, FMSY is only for one of these operations (text copied from Copying Funds Centers | SAP Help Portal - it's for S/4HANA, it should be the same for R/3 and ECC):

1. to transfer the data records for a new hierarchy variant in the same FM area,
2. or to transfer the funds centers with/without a hierarchy variant into another FM area

The option 1 requires that the target hierarchy variant is empty.

The option 2 requires that the target FM area is empty.

NB: for S/4HANA, the documentation path is Home > SAP S/4HANA > Funds Management > Master Data > Account Assignment Elements > Funds Center. Note also that the documentation mentions the programs RFFMBI91 and RFFMBI95 instead of their respective transaction codes FMSX and FMSY.

For any other requirement, use the IDoc of type FUNDSCTR (message type FUNDSCENTER), which includes both the master and hierarchy data. More information here: Solved: BAPI/FM for funds center group creation/change and... - SAP Community.
