Use

Once you activate Funds Management (FM), posting data from the feeder systems (such as Financial Accounting and Materials Management) is recorded as commitment data and actual data in FM. The posting dates of the earmarked funds are also updated in Funds Management during activation.

You activate Funds Management by activating specific company codes that you have assigned to FM areas. If you have combined more than one company code in an FM area, you have the option of activating some of those company codes, while leaving others inactive. This means you can set up the FM structures in parallel with existing posting activities in another company code, because you can carry out the following activities before you activate FM:

Edit master data (create, change, delete)

Budget

Activities

Since posting data is transferred to FM when it has been activated, you can no longer:

Change the Financial transaction control parameter in the commitment items

Change the fiscal year variant for the FM area

Change the FM area currency

Delete commitment items

Change the indicator Managing Open Items in the G/L account master record

Change the settings that influence the update in Customizing

For example, settings for the update profile or tax handling

In the following instances, the actual data in Funds Management contains errors and must be reconstructed:

You have activated some company codes in an FM area, but left others inactive.

You now activate them.

You have deactivated a company code accidentally.

In these cases, you must reconstruct the actual data for the whole FM area. See SAP Internal Data Transfer for more information.

Activities

You activate Funds Management in the IMG of Funds Management Government, under Actual and Commitment Update/Integration → Activate/Deactivate Funds Management
