RIB Ledger

Use

All RIB-relevant application is automatically stored in an FM ledger called the RIB ledger. This ledger is updated online, that is, whenever you post revenues or budget data relevant to a RIB rule.

The RIB ledger automatically carries out the following:

  • Online update when you post a document containing data that is relevant to a RIB rule

  • Aggregation of data for:

    • Collected revenues

    • Revenue budget values (if needed as relative thresholds in RIB rules)

    • Budget increases from previously created RIB documents (that is, budget documents that increase the expenditure budget via RIB)

Features

The main reason to use the RIB ledger is performance, since it facilitates the monitoring and reporting on RIB data. Furthermore, using the RIB ledger improves the performance of the existing totals-based distribution procedure in BCS and enables RIB call procedure.

Activities

If you are already using Revenues Increasing the Budget, no Customizing is necessary. The RIB ledger is generated in the background and can be accessed through the RIB Monitor .

Note Note

You can reconstruct the RIB ledger from the application data using transaction FMRBREINIT. You must run this transaction after upgrading to SAP release ECC 6.00, if you have already used the RIB functionality in an earlier SAP release.
