FM Budget Report showing negative budget in Consumable and Available Budget column

[muhammad_waseem]

Dear Experts,

When i run FMRP_RW_BUDCON for year 2021, it is showing negative budget (by 800,000) in columns 'Consumable Budget' and 'Available Budget' while the 'Consumed budget' is blank (screenshot attached).

The breakdown of 'Consumable budget' column shows the budget carried forward from 2021 to 2022 (screenshot attached).

I have already tried FMAVCREINIT and FMAVCDIFF but it did not made any difference. Do i need to reverse the budget carried-forward from 2022 to 2021? Please guide how to correct the budget data so report does not show negative values in 2021.

Hi,

If you did your carry-over with a dedicated transaction, then it wouldn't have happened, as it is supposed to process only residual budget. I.e. if you had no budget left in 2021 you cannot send anything to 2022.

However, it is possible to transfer the budget between the years (or within the same year) manually and then, if you don't have any consistency check for negative budget, the system would allow this transfer even if the result on the source line is negative and AVC is switched on, under the assumption that there is no consumption on that line.

Eli

Dear Eli,

Thanks for your response.

User somehow did the carry-over in FMBB from year 2021 to 2022 which resulted in negative balance (-800,000) in 2021 and positive balance (800,000) in 2022 at same budget address. FM Document year is 2022 (as shown in posted document). Now i am unable to reverse this impact, i tried FMDOCREV but system showed error message FMAVC005. Is there any way to reverse the impact so budget address shall have zero budget both in 2021 and 2022?

If you can't reverse it, it means that 2022 budget is already partially consumed. You would have to deal with it by doing some corrections of budgetary data. There is no 'technical' way to fix it.

[iklovski]

Yes, it could have been done with FMBB, if you are not 'protected' against negative budget inscriptions by introducing consistency check business rule. It is much more correct to perfrom carry-over of residual budget via FMMPCOVRN transaction.

Hi muhammad,

first I would cancel the budget carry over.

On the second hand you should implement the corresponding validation according to note 983853 - Missing errors from availability control for negative budget.

Best regards
