Copy Cover Groups (transaction FMCECPYCG) copies existing source cover groups to new target cover groups.

The program copies the existing cover groups from one year to the next, or from one AVC ledger, budget category, or budget category for RIB Ledger to another. You can use the program for manual, revenue, and automatic cover groups.

Prerequisites

You have previously created cover groups.

Activities

You execute the program for an FM area. Select the source and target data as follows:

Source data:

  • FM area

  • Fiscal year

  • Source cover group selection:

    For manual cover groups, select options for budget category.

    For automatic cover groups, select options for AVC ledger.

    For revenue cover groups, select options for budget category for RIB ledger.

  • Restriction on FM account assignment elements:

    Select options for FM account assignment elements.

Target data:

  • For manual cover groups, select budget category.

  • For revenue cover groups, select budget category for RIB ledger.

  • For automatic cover groups, select AVC ledger.

Note Note

  • For all categories of cover groups, you can select more than one source budget category or source ledger. The budget category or ledger of the target cover group is then automatically the same as for the corresponding source cover group. However, when you select a single source budget category or ledger, it is possible that the target budget category or ledger be different to the source.

  • In relation to fiscal year, the target fiscal year must be later than the source fiscal year.

  • If you choose to Copy from source cover group number, the target cover group numbers are copied from the source cover group numbers. In this case, the target cover group numbers should exist in some external number range.

    You can change the target cover group number by implementing the BAdI Enhance Cover Groups/Cover Eligibility Rules (FMCE_COVER_GROUP) in Customizing for Public Sector Management under Funds Management Government —> Budget Control System (BCS) —> Budgeting —> Tools —> Business Add-Ins for Budgeting (BAdIs).

    If you choose to Generate internal cover group numbers, the target cover group number is generated automatically from the internal number range 01.

    You can change the short text of the target cover group using the same BAdI (FMCE_COVER_GROUP) as mentioned above.

End of the note.

Result

The output list contains the cover groups with the assigned budget addresses and their roles. You can also display an error log if there were errors during the copying of cover groups.
