Transfer Postings Between Budget Types

Use

With program FMMPTRAN, you transfer budget values from one budget type to another in a mass run. You use this program to control the specific release of budget values as consumable budget. This means that you can, for example, release the budget for consumption in the current fiscal year per quarter.

The budget values to be transferred are calculated on the basis of a key figure.

Integration

Budget values are only updated in the availability control ledger and can be “consumed” if these budget values are classified as consumable budget. You define the classification of the consumable budget per budget type . You determine which budget types are to be considered as consumable budget in the availability control filter setttings .

If errors occur when the program is executed, you can reverse the budget entry documents generated using a mass reversal by executing the program Reverse Budget Data .
