MIRO Transaction - Additonal Delivery Cost issue

Dear Expert Team

We are in the process of implementing FM-BCS with EHP4 Period Wise Budget Control.

We have observed that at the time of MIRO posting with additional delivery cost amount, system is picking Budget Period object for additional delivery cost amount from PO only instead of current period Budget Object, as explained below:

Example:

PR, PO, GR value - Rs.100 with Budget Period Object 'A'

IR Value - Rs.120 (including additional delivery cost of Rs. 20)

Exisrting system behaviour: At the time of IR posting system is picking Budget Priod object 'A' only for both Rs. 100 as well as for Rs. 20.

Our businesss requirement: Additional delivery cost of Rs. 20 should be consumed from the current period Budget Period object when IR is being posted. Since for some of transactions of our business, PR, PO, GR being taken place in previous financial years AND IR posting being taken place in succeeding financial years. Hence we can not consider the additional delivery cost amount with old year Budget Period.

We requet you to suggest us.

Thanks and Regars

Hi,

This note explains how the Freight Costs are updated in FM: [907433|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/907433]

In the case of Freight Costs, if you need to rederive a different FM Account assignment than the one existing in the reference PO,

you can activate flag FLG_FMDERIVE_FORCE in table FM01X. Please find more info in note [923672|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/923672] .

As a consequence, the call to FMDERIVE will be forced during PO (and eventually GR, IR) reductions.

Then, you will need to adapt your FMDERIVE rules so that the Budget Period has to be overwritten under certain conditions only, as the flag in FM01X will afect all postings.

However, I see a limitation in your case: You may post the PO , then the GR, IR...on different budget periods but this could affect commitment reductions. However, the limitation may occur at the time of payment: normally the payment lines will inherit the Budget period from the reference invoice and especially with online payment, it will work in that way regardless of your settings in FMDERIVE. Please take this into account...

Hope this helps you

Kind regards

Mar
