Creating Budget Texts

Use

Budget texts are used to describe FM account assignment objects such as the FM area, fund, or commitment item.

In the Budget Text Organizer, you can create budget texts for display in the multiple budget entry transaction FMPEP, the budget structure maintenance transaction and the Budgeting Workbench (FMBB), as well as in the RIB rule maintenance transaction.

Note Note

You can copy budget texts using Transaction FMCYTEXT. For detailed instructions, see the program documentation.

Prerequisites

You have defined key fields for your FM account assignment elements in the IMG activity Define Key Fields for Budget Texts .

If you want to permit changes to budget texts in another environment besides FMTEXT, you can do so in the IMG activity Activate Processing Mode for Budget Texts .

If you want to define your own forms, you have to make the corresponding settings in the IMG activity Assign Forms to Budget Text .
