Purpose
You can use the information system to analyze the business transactions relevant to Funds Management Government. This means it is possible, for example, to generate overviews of the budgets (such as approved and released budget), budget usage (actual and commitment values), and the residual budget (that is, budget still available) in your organization.
You can carry out both recurring standard evaluations and also create reports for any specific questions and tasks. You can analyze all data interactively directly after entering it into the R/3 System and trace its origin up to document level. You can also run all reports available online in the background. This is particularly useful with very comprehensive datasets.
Integration
The components you need depend on the type of evaluations which you want to carry out.

Totals Records ReportsLine items
You generate line item reports to obtain a more detailed representation of the postings executed. You can display the respective original document directly from the list of line items found.
Line items are generated for each posting. They contain information on the FM account assignment, the amount posted, the posting date, and the user who made the posting.
Line item reports are usually represented in Funds Management Government with the SAP List Viewer. This enables you to select both the selection criteria and the fields to be displayed in the list individually.
For information on the standard line item reports in Funds Management Government, see
Line Item Reports. For information about the SAP List Viewer, refer to SAP List Viewer.Year-end closing
You generate the report on year-end closing to obtain an overview of the closing operations carried out when the fiscal year changes.
The reports on year-end closing display the commitments carried forward, the budget assigned to these commitments and the other carryforward budget. You can branch from the commitments carried forward into the corresponding line items and the document display from the report on year-end closing.
Analyses (matching)
You can use these reports to compare documents from different counters and to specify differences if desired.
