Why Consumable Budget does not update after FMJ2?

[former_member154334]

After executing carry forward of open items for budget, consumable budget for next year was not updated. Would you know why this happens?

Hi,

Did you carry-forward your items along with the budget? It is a setting in the system; if it's not properly set budget is not carried-over by default. Hence, there will be no impact on consumable budget in the target year.

Regards,

Eli

Hi Eli,

If we will change the setting, is there a way to reconstruct the carried forward documents? So, the consumable budget will be updated after the change on setting.

Thank you.

Reconstruct - no (unless you do carry-backward and then carry-forward again, when the settings are changed), but you can carry-over the budget which was left behind with standard process (FMMPCOVRN)

Hi Eli,

Thank you. However, we are done already with our carry-forward and we want to correct the consumable budget, because it was not updated. Is there a way to correct the consumable budget to reflect the carry-forward?

Thank you.

In addition, I have checked our setting and it does allow the carry-forward with budget. However, upon carry-forward, some items reflect on the consumable budget, but some are not. How did this happen?

Thank you.

So, some - are and some - not? That is strange... please, provide example from FMIOI and FMCCFD tables. What SAP release are you working with?

Still, if you are pretty sure that the budget was not transferred just for some items, I'd make a sample carry-backward and carry-forward to see that the problem persists. How do you establish that no budget was carried-over? Do you look at some report or did you actually examine budgetary documents created by carry-forward?

Hi Eli,

Kindly see attached screenshots of the table. There is no tagging on carry forward with budget, but the our setting allowed this condition. Would you know if I have missed anything on our setting?

Thank you.

This setting is not enough. What is your setting in this IMG activity: "Enter Settings for Commitment Carryforward Payment (Commitment) Budget"?

Hi Eli,

Yes, we missed this setting. However, when we tried to undo our carry forward and re-execute them, this issue has been corrected without updating our current setting. I wonder why?

Anyways, I will consider the setting you have provided.

Thank you.

Technically speaking the setting you have mentioned are default setting, while the one which I pointed out is more precise. I always recommend to work with precise settings (by document type) along with the default. Still, if a carry-backward and carry-forward solved your issue, you can close the thread. If the problem recurs, I'd recommend to open OSS message.

Hi Eli,

I just want to understand how does the undo and re-carry forward resolved my issue without changing any of our current setting? I don't think that is standard.

Thank you.

SAP does have bugs 🙂 Something might have gone wrong during carry-forward. What SAP release are you working with?
