Configuring Funds Management 

For the purpose of installing or upgrading a system, or changing releases for the Funds Management component and all other SAP components, the system includes an Implementation Guide (IMG) which is available online.

Some of the definitions that you can make using the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Funds Management include settings for master data, actual and commitment updates, or budgeting.

You enter the system settings using Customizing Projects, that you must create using the Customizing menu. You can do this in the SAP standard menu, under Tools→Customizing®  IMG ® Project Management.If you choose SAP Reference IMG, you can see all the implementation guides available in the SAP system that are divided in the same way as the application components. These application components display all applications and functions the SAP Reference IMG has to offer.

Select the functions from the application components that you want to implement in your company and generate so-called project IMGs. In these, you can limit the IMG activities available even more to suit your needs. If necessary you can generate different project IMGs that contain different IMG activities. As such, you can for example generate a project IMG that contains all mandatory activities and another that includes all optional activities. Project IMGs are edited in the Customizing menu under Project Editing.

Depending on which view you generate in the implementation project, only the customizing functions you have chosen will be available to you, not all functions.

Note that if you want to create a project for German customers, you have to choose IMG activity Activate Global Functions for German Government.

From an IMG structure, you can:

·        Read documentation needed to execute an IMG activity

·        Start the IMG activity

·        Enter project documentation

For more information on system implementation and working with the IMG, see the Customizing Manual. Choose Help → Application help in the Customizing menu to do so.

The IMG of Funds Management Government contains a detailed description of what you have to do to implement that part of the system.
