Commitment Item derivation from General Ledger

[Former Member]

Brothers!

we want the system should derive the Commitment item from the general ledger master record.But the system is not deriving the Commitment item from General ledger.

But as We read in the BCS Documentation, there are two way for derivation of Commitement Item. one from GL and other defining the derivation rule.

please advise us, why not the system is deriving the Commitment itm from GL.

My client also want the same

Thanks

Hi,

Please check the attached note:

839488 Derivation of commitment item from G/L account:

As of Release EA-PS 2.00, you can use a derivation rule of type

"Function Module" with the function module

FMDT_READ_MD_ACCOUNT_COMPANY "Read Account Master Data"

predefined by SAP in your derivation strategy (Transaction

FMDERIVE). The function module can return all fields of the G/L

account master record. You can receive the commitment item either

in the technical SAP internal format (field FIPOS, 14 characters)

or directly in the format that is generally used (field

CMMT_ITEM, 24 characters). The company code and G/L account are

already preset as a source field, and the commitment item as a

target field, in the 24-character format.

So, you should define a derivation strategy (FMDERIVE) as type Function module and use function FMDT_READ_MD_ACCOUNT_COMPANY

I hope this helps.

regards, Mar
