Year-End Closing
Use
During the year-end closing, you can transfer carry forward open
commitment values from purchase requisitions, purchase orders and funds commitments (see: Funds Commitment (Cost Centers, Internal Orders, Projects)) to the first period of the next fiscal year. You can select by account assignment object ( cost centers, orders, or projects). Alternatively, you can process individual documents. The carry-forward of the commitment values occurs for each controlling area.
Only the assigned values are updated by the system. Warnings or error messages from availability control are ignored.

A purchase order exists with the delivery date 10/11/1996. The corresponding commitment is displayed in period 11/1996. After transferring the commitments for the fiscal year 1996, the commitment appears in the period 01/1997.
