Assigning G/L account commitment item with correct Financial Transaction

G/L account	Commitment with financial transaction
Bank and check clearing accounts	80
Clearing accounts for cross- company code and so cross-FM area transactions	80
In the reconciliation account for the down-payment settlement	30
Bank accounts	90

All postings that lead to a change in monetary holdings must be transferred into Funds Management. If these postings are not budget-relevant they still must be updated statistically. To statistically update postings you can use the User exit SAPLFMFA (enhancement SAPLFMFA, component EXIT_SAPLFMFA_001, development class FMFS, transaction CMOD). See Statistical Postings.

If you use the financial transaction 50, you should check if commitment items with the financial transaction are addressed for postings leading to a change in monetary holdings.
