Budget Objects and Posting Objects

What should you note if you want to use budget objects and posting objects?

If you have created a budget structure by assigning commitment item groups, you can only change a commitment item’s object function within the commitment item group.

If you have been working with budget and posting objects and do not want to do so in future, choose Master Data ® Budget Structure ® Delete Budget Structure in the Funds Management IMG to delete all the budget and/or posting objects from a budget structure.

For more information see the Funds Management Implementation Guide in step Delete Budget Structure.

If you have not yet worked with budget objects or posting objects and want to do so in future, choose Basic Data ® Budget Structure ® Generate Budget Structure in the IMG to generate a budget structure which designates the funds centers and commitment items where you have entered budget as budget objects, and those where postings have already been made as posting objects.

For more information see the Funds Management Implementation Guide in step Generate Budget Structure.
