Definition of Carryforward Parameters 
Definition of Carryforward Parameters
Use
If it has been defined in Customizing that all fiscal year change operations may be executed for Funds Management, then the commitments and residual budgets are carried forward 1:1 when starting the programs which execute the operations. The overall amount of a
Funds Management Account Assignment (100 %) is carried forward to the new account assignment in the new year.Using program
RFFMCFM1 you can get an overview of the current Customizing settings.The definition of carryforward parameters allows you to target the commitments carryforward and the budget carryforward to the new fiscal year. So on the one hand, you can take account of the changes to your organizational structure and functional rededications for the fiscal year change operations. On the other hand, you can completely exclude certain value types or FM account assignments from the carryforward.
For example, you are able to control that an account assignment change is allowed during the commitments carryforward of purchase orders, whereas no account assignment changes are possible in invoices. For instance for the budget carryforward you can define that a sorting of the carryforward amount to different FM account assignments is allowed.
Integration
Carryforward parameters form the basis for defining special carryforward rules for individual FM account assignments. In carryforward parameters you always define the criteria according to which the special rules can be defined.
You define carryforward rules for a respective fiscal year. A carryforward rule therefore includes the concrete attribute of a carryforward parameter for individual FM account assignments; as a rule, the relationship of a sending and receiving element (if desired several elements) is described. In addition, whether amounts are completely, partially or not carried forward at all is defined.
Features
The carryforward type specifies the quality of a carryforward parameter and defines which criteria the carryforward rules must fulfill for individual FM account assignments. The following carryforward types are available:
Carryforward type |
Function |
Commitments |
|
10 |
The total amount of an FM account assignment is carried forward to the same account assignment
Carryforward not allowed |
20 |
The total amount (100%) of an account assignment is carried forward to another account assignment
Carryforward not allowed |
Budget | |
10 |
The total amount of an FM account assignment is carried forward to the same account assignment
Carryforward not allowed |
20 |
The total amount (100%) of an account assignment is carried forward to another account assignment
Carryforward not allowed |
30 |
Carryforward 100% or percentage (for example 40%); Sender = Receiver Parts of the residual budget of an FM account assignment is carried forward to the same account assignment. |
40 |
Carryforward 100% or percentage (for example 40%); Sender <> Receiver The total residual budget or parts of the residual budget of an FM account assignment are carried forward to several account assignments. |
In Funds Management Customizing you define whether a carryforward parameter allows a carryforward or not.
Activities
If you want to carry forward the commitments and the residual budgets 1:1 into the new fiscal year, you just have to maintain the default settings for the fiscal year change operations in the Funds Management Customizing. For more information see Funds Management IMG, section
Enter Default Settings .You only need carryforward parameters if you want to target the commitments carryforward and the budget carryforward with carryforward rules for individual FM account assignments. Only in this case do you have to
Maintain Carryforward Parameters.You must subsequently assign the carryforward parameters to the
Value Types for your FM area and a fiscal year for controlling the commitments carryforward in the Funds Management Customizing. Using this, a carryforward parameter can be assigned to several value types.You have to define the carryforward parameters for controlling the budget carryforward in the settings for the carryforward of residual budgets.
For more information, see the Funds Management IMG under Additional Functions ® Closing Operations ® Commitment Closing Operations and Budget Closing Operations.
If the parameters are defined in Customizing, you can define your requirements in accordance with
Generic and Special Carryforward Rules.
