Use

Commitment items of the standard variant

The totality of commitment items or commitment item hierarchies that you use in your FM area must be assigned to the standard variant " 000 ".

For more information, see Editing the Standard Hierarchy .

Commitment items of alternative commitment item hierarchies

As well as the operative standard variant " 000" of an FM area you can use other variants (<>0) to carry out an alternative evaluation of actuals/and commitment values and distributed values of your organization. You can do this using alternative commitment items.

For more information, see Alternative Commitment Item Hierarchy .

Year-independent and year-dependent master data maintenance of commitment items

If you are working in the FM area with year-independent master data, then you are working exclusively with the standard variant " 000 ", and when needed, in alternative commitment item hierarchies, with further non-operational variants. Reference to a fiscal year is not possible; the field Fiscal Year is hidden in the master record.

If you are working in an FM area with year-dependent commitment items, then for every fiscal year (FM area/fiscal year) there is a standard variant " 000 ". Any changes you make apply to a specific fiscal year.

In the year-dependent master data maintenance you must create the commitment items and commitment item hierarchies in every other fiscal year again. For simple transfers of commitment items and their hierarchies from an old fiscal year to the new fiscal year you can use a copy function.

For more information, see Copying Commitment Items .

Analogous year-dependent editing also applies to alternative commitment item hierarchies.

For more information on year-dependent master data maintenance in Fund Management, see Year-Dependent Master Data .
