Define Default Values for Commitment Items (SAP Library

Define Default Values for Commitment Items

In this step of the IMG, you define a commitment item/expenditure type combination for an employee grouping.

This means that, when you finance a person who has been assigned to an employee grouping by means of feature PM007 - Determine Grouping for Finding Commitment Item, the system proposes a default commitment item on the basis of the expenditure type to be financed.

Requirements

You must have defined expenditure types in the IMG step Define Expenditure Types.

You must have defined groupings in the IMG step

Define Employee Groupings for Finding Commitment Items.

You must have adapted feature PM007 to your requirements in the IMG step Assign to Employee Groupings for Determining Commitment Items

Further Notes

If you want the system to propose a default FM account assignment during financing, you must make the following settings (if you have not already done so):

Assign a person who is to be financed to a cost center (you do this in HR master data).

Assign a staffed position which is to be financed to a cost center (you do this in Organizational Management).

Assign the fund/funds center in question to a cost center (you do this in Funds Management).
