Dear Eli
Thanks for immediate response! Requirement is explained in elaborate.
As per business requirement, payment budget is activated with profile 101 for BCS. Fiscal year V3 (April to March). In this case, budget creates on 1st day of ever quarter and the same should consume within that quarter. if balance is available, it should not be carry forward to subsequent quarter. Budget create and utilize for FI standalone postings and Purchase requistions/Purchase orders in MM.
Tried to follow fiscal year-posting peiods to control budget in each quarter, it was not supported well as it's carry forwarded from one period to next period automatically. Hence business function for budget period activated to maintain the budget period for each quarter and report can also be generated at each budget period.
In this case, there is no issue for FI standalone postings for consumption of budget within quarter. In other case, if PR/PO posted during budget period II (Quarter2) but GR or IR receives for PO during subsequent quarter III (Quarter3), system should allow the postings. Budget manager should have control to close the budget period II (July to Sept) to stop to post FI standalone postings, purchase requistions, puchase orders during the month of october, november, december as it falls under budget period III (Quarter 3). For this, new budget period III (Oct to Dec) will be opened
For the above, single Fund is maintained and assigned budget periods with validity period. How to control budget create and utilization at budget period level. Budget period function is expecting to controls with all account assignments in FMIR , because individual parametar option is availabe to choose account assignments in FMMI or FMIR
In this case, budget period is also one of account assignment element. currently 2000 commitment items are available, so it's very much difficult to maintain at each account assignment element level
Could you please suggest, how to maintain the period control at budget period level
Thanks and Regards,
