Reconstructing Assigned Values

Use

Reconstructing the assigned values ensures that availability control can recognize an excessive funds assignment in the new hierarchy or in a Budget Structure Element , in accordance with the changes you have made. If you do not reconstruct the assigned values, availability control makes its checks based on the "old" dataset.

A reconstruction of assigned values is necessary in the system following these actions:

Changed the master data hierarchy which has postings and budget and have reconstructed the distributed values or totaled up the budget values

Availability control was deactivated and then reactivated

The company code/FM area assignment was deactivated and then reactivated

The budget profile assignment was changed

The generic search sequence was changed

A budget structure was either regenerated, changed, or deleted a budget structure, and distributed values reconstructed.

Changes were made in your budget profile (such as releases/budget) for availability control.

The actual data for Funds Management was reconstructed.

Within the framework of closing operations, Open Commitments Documents were carried forward into the new fiscal year.

Prerequisites

There must be at least one budget structure element with a budget.

Ensure that no other activities, particularly budgeting or document entry, can be carried out in the system while the reconstruction is in progress.

Activities

To reconstruct assigned values, choose Accounting ® Financial accounting ® Funds management ® Budgeting ® Tools ® Reconstruct assigned values.

You must enter an FM area and a Fiscal year independent of whether you are working with annual values or overall values.

If you have made changes to, for example, your master data hierarchy, and are working with annual values, you can reconstruct the distributed values for more than one fiscal year in one run. You must then start the program for reconstructing assigned values separately for each of the fiscal years concerned.

The graphic below illustrates the flow of assigned value reconstruction. Note that the system only outputs a log if the reconstruction leads to a budget overrun.
