EMF Value adjustment workflow commitment

[#1]

Hi all,

We are using workflow for Value Adjustment (VA) document used for increase/reduce of Earmarked Fund (EMF) amount.

When creating the VA document, a standard WF is initiate. The amount is saved at field 'amount changed'. If the WF approved, the amount changed is added to the overall amount of the EMF. If the WF rejected, the amount changed is deleted.

When creating the VA document the changed amount commitment is posted to FMIOI and FMAVCR as regular commitment that consumed the available budget.
I am looking for a way to delay the commitment posting to the time that the VA document is approved.

I try to use function 'EXIT_SAPLFMFA_001' and raising the statistic flag, but all EMF and VA history commitment gets the statistic flag.

Thanks,

Amit Blumshtein

I'm not following the example you gave or rather the need. Suppose you have EMF of 100 USD, 80 were consumed and now you have run valuation which would reduce the remaining amount to zero. What happens in this case, that you have an update of FMIOI and FMAVCT. Since, you have workflow model, it will be in ledger 9D. FMAVCT, following prudence concept, will not increase available budget unless this reduction is verified. In EMF, on the contrary, you won't be able to post a consumption, which is also correct, because this reduction could have been approved eventually.

In case of positive valuation, it would behave in the same way following prudence concept, i.e. you won't be able to consume more in EMF, but in the same time, your available budget will decrease.

Both, FMIOI and FMAVCT, will be updated on two phases: when change is initiated and when it is finalised by either rejection or approval.

Hi Eli,

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

The prudence concept is cleared, and suit our business process.

Now in our system we don't have 9D ledger and all VA decreases are updated our regular ledgers 9I and Z ledgers.

How do we set 9D ledger ? should it be automatically during WF setup or should we customize and activate the ledger?

Do we have indication at FMIOI that amount type 0150 for the VA decrease is at WF process ?

Thanks.

Amit.

9D ledger corresponds to FMIOI; you should see your postings which enter workflow under this ledger. It is not an AVC ledger, though. in AVC tables, it's represented by WF status field (WFSTATE_9).

Hi Eli,

Where can I see posting to this 9D ledger? (table/transaction)

Does the AVC ledgers' available budget takes into account the WF status fied as described above (as standard system behaviour):

VA decrease - will not increase available budget unless this VA is approved.

VA increase - available budget will decrease but not be able to consume unless the VA is approved.

Thanks,
