Budget Period in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

The budget period assignment element is available for use in the business partner and general ledger items. You can use the budget period to restrict the funds by time.

1. To be able to use the budget period as a new account assignment element, you need to activate the following business functions in Customizing:

   • PSCD, Collections Management and Credit Clearing (PSCD_COLLECTIONS_MANAGEMENT_2). This business function forms part of the Public Services business function set.

   • Both of the following enterprise business functions:

     • PSM, Budget Period (PSM_GEN_BUDPER_1)

     • PSM, Budget Period 2 (PSM_GEN_BUDPER_2)

   You activate business functions in Customizing under Activate Business Functions.

2. Furthermore, all prerequisites relevant for the integrated use of Funds Management (PSM-FM) with Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable(FI-CA), the industry component Public Sector Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (IS-PS-CA), and the industry component SAP Utilities (IS-U) have to be fulfilled as well.

   For more information, see Integration with Funds Management (PSM-FM).
