change in derivation rule

[Former Member]

Hi,

We implemented fund management in the system. In Derivation rule source fields are company code and Internal Order. Target fields are Fund center, Fund.

All values entered in derivation table based on these combination. We developed reports based on these comibination only because we are not able to find table to link between Internal Order and Fund center.

Now i need to change the combination values. If i changed any combination then ABAPER is not able to extract reports based on the old combination values. In the report only values against new combination only will update.

Ex: Before change the combination entered in derivation table is Internal order (100000) to Fund center(1000) Fund (CANADA)

Due to some requirement now i need to change the comibination as Internal Order(100000) to Fund Center(1100) Fund (FRANCE).

With same source field i cant update different combinations.

If i changed the combination values then in my report both combination has to update. We are not activated FM integration with Cost and Project Controlling. I dont know the reason in FMIOI table,Internal order field is not updating. So our reports extracted based on FMDERIVE table only.

Please let me know if there is any way to link between Internal order and Fund center,Fund to extract into reports.

Please guide me.

Regards,

Sree

Hi

I am not sure which ones are the source table/s used in your customer-developed reports, but, if they are based on FMIOI and you need to have the CO objects, please check note 139211. You should enable the corresponding user-exit in order to fill fields from FMIOI.

And, if your reports are based on FMDERIVE values, the output of your report may also depend on how your rules are composed.

For example, if your FMDERIVE is based on a combination of source fields such as Company code + internal order, you will have only the current values. But if you add another source field like 'Posting date' or 'Period' (depending on your needs), you might have the capability to keep old and new combinations...

Hope this will give you a clue

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable information. I need clarification on the following point mentioned in the note.

If you want to display the 'Cost Center', WBS Element Number', 'Order', 'Profit Center', or 'G/L Account' fields for open item/actual data of other value types in FM, you can use the user exits 'EXIT_SAPLFMRI_001' and 'EXIT_SAPLFMOI_001' to activate the relevant fields . This should only be considered at the customer's own risk (data volume) if HR Funds and Position Management is not active.

We are integrated HR and Fund management based on Scenario 2 because at the time of employees are recruited into organisation we know his fund center, fund. So we used scenario 2 for HR-FM integration. So i am not using FM integration with Cost and project controlling.

Is there any problem to use the User Exit in my situation because SAP is not providing support for this User exit.

We created Internal order as Statistical elements and actual postings to cost center.After activating this user exit is Internal order as statistical object will update in FMIOI table.

Due to this User exit if we have any complications in the system please guide me.

Thanks for helpful answer.

Hi, sorry for the delay.

if 'HR Funds and Position Management' is not implemented, you should not have any issues as long as the exit is correctly coded.

Please also pay attention at its comments:

Comment:

"With SAP R/3 Enterprise, EA-PS 2.0, we no longer support the user exits

that were made available in the enhancement SAPLFMRI. In this case, a

BAdI is provided: SMOD_SAPLFMRI.

The methods correspond to the previous exit numbers. The previous user

exit EXIT_SAPLFMRI_001 is now method "EXIT_SAPLFMRI_001".

Note that you must implement the source code of the user exit in these

methods and activate the BAdI.

The user exits for enhancement SAPLFMOI are still available and you can

use these.

Note that with IS-PS Release 4.62, the CO-PA derivation tool is used for

the account assignment derivation of funds management. This has the

following consequences:

o As of this release, the sample code given below for the specified

user exits can no longer ensure that the CO account assignments

displayed in FM line item reporting are also relevant for FM

account assignment derivation.

o Under certain conditions, the system does not display cost

account assignment at all, even though the relevant expense or

revenue had been updated in CO or PS. This may be the case, for

example, if expense or revenue line items were assigned to a

statistical CO object account only."
