Use

You create budget types in Customizing of Funds Management and assign them to the processes delivered by SAP. You do this in Customizing of Funds Management under Budget Control System(BCS) ® BCS Budgeting ® Budget Types ® Assign Budget Types to Processes.

You can define the following individual settings using budget types in combination with other budget control system functions:

Customer-Defined Budget Decision

The budget in your organization can be divided into different budget types. You can use your organization’s terminology to describe each budget type.

You create budget types in Customizing of Funds Management under Budget Control System ® BCS Budgeting ® Budget Types ® Define Budget Types.

Controlling Budget Processing

In BCS budgeting, you can define in which phase in the course of the budgeting process the processing of particular budget types is permitted or not permitted in combination with the status management.

You define the budget types permitted per status in Customizing of Funds Management under Budget Control System(BCS) ® BCS Budgeting ® Edit Status .

Controlling Consumable Budget

You can define which budget types are classified as consumable budget per fund or per fund type. You make these settings in Customizing of Funds Management under Budget Control System(BCS) ® BCS Budgeting ® Budget Types ® Define Budget Type for Consumable Budget.

In the filter settings for availability control, you define which budget types are released as consumable budget for consumption and are updated in availability control during the entry or transfer of budget values. You make these settings in Customizing of Funds Management under Budget Control System(BCS) ® BCS Availability Control ® Settings for Availability Control Ledger ® Define AVC Filter Settings for Budget Values.

You can change budget types that are not released as consumable budget at first in the current year by the AVC filter settings in "released" budget within a program run. Make transfers between budget types to do this. This makes it possible to control the release of consumable budget, for example, per quarter.
