Reconstruction of Availability Control Ledgers

Use

Using this function you can reconstruct or “reinitialize” commitment/actual data from Funds Management update (consumed amounts) and BCS budget data (consumable budget), which was updated in the availability control ledger (AVC ledger) using transaction FMAVCREINIT.

The reinitialization of an availability control ledger is carried out in two steps:

  1. The existing data of the updated FM commitment/actual or BCS data is deleted in the corresponding AVC ledger (table FMAVCT) .

  2. The AVC ledger is reconstructed when the system reads the relevant posting data from the Funds Management update or from BCS budgeting.

    Note Note

    You must reconstruct your AVC ledgers if you change the Customizing settings for availability control. This is usually the case if you have activated a new AVC ledger, or have changed the filter settings for budget or commitment/actual values or the account assignment derivation of control objects. If you work with automatic cover eligibility rules in BCS, you must also reconstruct your AVC ledgers in the following cases:

    • if you have added a budget address to an automatic cover group

    • if you have removed a budget address from an automatic cover group.

    For more information on the conditions requiring reconstruction, see Note 725266.

    End of the note.

Features

Note that if you reconstruct an AVC ledger, this results in a data transfer between Funds Management commitment/actual update and BCS budgeting as the data sources on one side, and the AVC ledger (FI Special Ledger), on the other side. You can influence the program run using the appropriate settings.

Restricting the Volume of Data

The volume of AVC ledger data updated can be restricted by only running the program for certain fund values or for the AVC ledgers affected and/or by defining the record types (consumable budget and/or consumed amounts) to be re-initialized.

Parallel Processing with a Number of Application Servers

You can maximize performance by transferring update tasks on various servers working in parallel. For more information on parallel processing, see:
