Budget Reporting
Country Version United Arab Emirates comes with reports that support you during the budget preparation process and that enable you to analyze expenditure. You can use the reports to review the budget data for an entire FM area, or for specific activities and departments within that area. For example, you can review the proposed budget for all departments involved in a specific project, but only for specific budget chapters (for example, salaries and wages).
On the selection screen of each budget report, you specify the relevant FM area, budget category, fiscal year, and budget versions. If required, you can also restrict the selection of data according to the following criteria:
Budget: Budget chapters, commitment items, programs, and subprograms
Groups: Main projects, projects, departments, fund groups, and funds
For information about the mapping of the AE budget entities to the corresponding account assignment elements, see Account Assignment Elements.
You also specify the output options (for example, ALV layout, scaling, and printer). For the PDF printout of the report results, you can change the default PDF form, and you can also define whether the PDF is to be generated in English or Arabic.
Note
Each budget report can display data for only one company code. The company code enables the system to retrieve the relevant budget data, as well as the required header data and signatures for the PDF form. The system identifies the company code based on the FM area that you specify on the selection screen, or from the master data of the specified funds centers. If the FM area is assigned to more than one company code, you must make sure that the same company code is entered in the master data of the relevant funds centers.
The report output is displayed in the SAP List Viewer (ALV). To generate the PDF, you choose the Print Report
pushbutton.
For information about the required settings for the PDF forms, see Customizing for Budget Report Forms.
Note
Budget data records for which you are not authorized are deleted from the selected data and are not displayed in the ALV output or PDF. The message log provides a list of records that were excluded from the report output due to missing authorization. You access the log by choosing the Display Log
pushbutton in the report output.
