Prerequisites
You must assign the Reserve for Encumbrance GL accounts to commitment items with financial transaction 50.
You review and configure the function module FM_LEDGER_CTRL_PARAMETER_GET to determine if the postings are made as follows:
· Using functional areas (configure e_flag_farea = con_on)
· Based only on value types (configure e_flag_account_derive_vt = con_on)
· Based on value types and GL accounts (configure e_flag_account_derive_vt = con_off)
You review and configure the function module FM_LG_ ACCOUNTS_DERIVE to assign the GL accounts to be used for the reserve postings:
