Reconstructing Distributed Values (SAP Library

Reconstructing Distributed Values

Use

You have to reconstruct distributed values in the following cases:

Changes to the master data hierarchy posted to or budgeted

You have made changes to your master data hierarchy, by for example having detached individual nodes or subtrees from the structure and reinserting them at another point in the hierarchy or another subhierarchy. The reconstruction of distributed values ensures that already distributed budget is recalculated according to the changes you have made.

The budget from the nodes split off which has already been distributed and which you have assigned to a different subhierarchy, is then available for distribution again by the original superior nodes. Correspondingly less budget is then available for distribution for the superior nodes in which you have inserted the split off nodes.

If there is not sufficient budget in the superior node to distribute to the nodes which have been added, you must adjust the budget values manually.

Budget structures: Budget structure changed, deleted, or regenerated

If, for example, in an existing Budget Structure you define more Budget Structure Elements in an existing budget structure as budget objects, reconstructing the distributed values ensures that the distributed values are recalculated. For more information on what you need to note when changing the budget structure, see: Changing the Budget Structure

You do not have to reconstruct the distributed values if you have:

Appended new funds centers and commitment items to the lowest hierarchy level in each case
Defined new elements as budget objects at the lowest hierarchy level in the budget structure

Procedure

Choose Accounting ® Financial accounting ® Funds Management ® Budgeting ® Tools ® Reconstruct distributed values.
Enter an FM area.

Enter a budget version.

If you do not enter a version, the system automatically uses version 0.

Start the program.

To improve system performance, reconstruct the distributed values in background processing.

Result

If availability control is active for the specified FM area and specified fiscal year, you must reconstruct the assigned values after totaling up the budget values.
