Use

If you are working with year-dependent master data, you can only post to Funds Management account assignments if the posting date is in the existence interval of the affected fund centers. You define the existence interval valid for a funds center in the master record, by using fields Valid from and Valid until.

Note

For year-independent funds centers, the system enters the existence interval "1900 – 9999" by default; you cannot change this.

You can lengthen an existence interval at any time without any problems. However, it is different if you want to shorten the existence interval of a funds center. If a funds center is already assigned to one or more fiscal years via a hierarchy variant, then shortening the existence interval cannot cause any inconsistencies in data due to the posting data that exists. In such cases, shortening the existence interval can be prevented by the system.

Remove funds center from the hierarchy variant

If you remove a fund center’s existence interval, then the fund center is automatically removed from the hierarchy variant, if the existence interval no longer overlaps with the period of the fiscal year.

Example

In the FM area, hierarchy variant 000 is assigned to fiscal year 2000 and hierarchy variant 001 is assigned to fiscal year 2001. The existence interval of a fund center is shortened from 01.01.2000 - 30.06.2001 to 01.01.2000 - 31.12.2000. Before it was shortened, the funds center was assigned automatically to both hierarchy variants. Once the existence interval has been shortened, it is only in hierarchy variant 000, having been removed automatically from hierarchy variant 001.
