Budget Addresses and Availability Control Objects
If you use availability control in the budget control system, every budget address (or FM account assignment) to which you post budget is automatically represented as a control object in availability control. In the standard system, SAP supports a 1:1 assignment between budget addresses and availability control objects. Using a derivation strategy, you can define another assignment or a summarization between budget addresses and control objects per availability control ledger in availability control.
Activities
You define budget and posting addresses in the Funds Management menu under Master Data ® Budget Structure ® Budget Control System.
