No budget check for unknown account assignment in service PO

[former_member309133]

No budget check was done for a service PO with account assignment as U (unknown). the system even allowed the service entry sheet without budget check. No FM document is created. However it works fine for the same service material when the account assignment is K.

Request you all to throw some light on the issue.

Hi,

Were FM objects derived properly?

My derivation is on GL account for commitment item and on plant for fund center. So there is no difference if the account assignment is U or K. But for K it is working perfectly.

In the accounting document for the service entry for account assignment U, the commitment item and fund center is correctly derived.

So, if I get you correctly, you can see the right FM objects in your PO, but nevertheless no commitment was created and hence no budget was consumed, right?

Hi,

In the service order with U account assignment there is no account assignment tab unlike K. So can't see any commitment or fund center.

When the service entry sheet is made then a cost object is given and the account assignment is changed to K. The FI document generated does have the commitment item and fund center. But the budget check is not done even at this time.

Hi,

You have to have account assignment in the service order. Otherwise no FM document will be created. System does not use FMDERIVE in the subsequent transactions. FUND/FC/CI are inherited from the PO, that is why account assignment category U does not work.

Dear Ming

Thanks for your reply. Is there any workaround or development through which a budget check can be done. We need to have the account assignment with U as per the business process.

Hi Sangram,

For subsequent transactions, if you flag entry FLG_SES_OVERWRITE in FM01X as active, system will be using FMDERIVE.

However you still have an issue with PO. PO with account assignment U will not create any commitments. So, you start to consume budget at the point of SES instead of PO.

Since it is a U, where did you specify your GL account?

Hello Ming,

I activated FLG_SES_OVERWRITE in table FM01X. But still it didn't stop at the time of SES.

In the service PO, the service master has the valuation class and GL is assigned for the valuation class.

On ME23N screen follow the menu path Environment -> AC Commitment Documents. Do you see any FM documents? I believe your PO does not create any FM documents.That is why there is no budget consuption. The GL account needs to be explicitly specified in the PO.

When it gets to the SES point, assume you do not want to inherit FM account assignment from PO and you activated FLG_SES_OVERWRITE, you can explicitly enter something (GL account, etc) in SES that will work with FMDERIVE rules to derive FM account assignment.
