Financing Persons Directly 

  1. Click on the person, and choose .
  2. The system calculates how much budget is required for this person (financing requirements), and the Financing dialog box appears.

  3. The traffic-light icon shows the financing status.

The various colors mean the following:

 = the budget provided is less than the budget required.

 = the budget provided exceeds the budget required.

 = the budget provided is exactly the same as the budget required.

How you proceed from here will depend on what color your traffic-lights icon is:

A person’s basic pay must always be financed. Otherwise, payroll accounting might terminate when it is run for a person whose basic salary is not financed.

The company code of the person (Organizational Assignment - infotype 0001) must also be contained in the FM area of the FM account assignment (fund, funds center, commitment item). You cannot finance across FM areas.
