Use

When making a posting in the Funds Management (FM) feeder components, the fields for Funds Management account assignments Commitment item, Funds center, Fund and, if necessary, Earmarked funds will only appear if the field status is maintained accordingly. The field status setting influences whether the entry fields appear as optional or required fields or if no entry is possible.

Funds Management updating determines if and which account assignment information is required on the basis of the transaction used and the controlling of the commitment item, and irrespective of the definition of the field status.

The fields in the account assignment block should only accept input (as optional or required entry fields), if you want to manually enter FM account assignment elements when you make a posting. If you are using Account Assignment Derivation to ensure that FM account assignment elements are derived from other account assignments, you can hide these fields.

Note Note

Take note that the values determined using account assignment derivation only appear as default values when you make a posting and, if necessary, you can overwrite them, when the entry field is an optional entry field . If you flag a field as a required entry field, the system will require you to make a manual entry. This manual entry takes precedence over the value determined by account assignment derivation, as the standard settings prevent account assignment derivation from overwriting fields that already contain values.

If you want to ensure that values are only determined using account assignment derivation – as may be necessary in certain cases – you can do so by defining a derivation step that defines the attributes of the target field accordingly. For more information, see Controlling the Processing of Derivation Steps

You make the settings at various points in the IMGs for the relevant components.

Financial accounting

For further information, go to the Financial Accounting IMG and choose   Financial Accounting Global Settings   Document   Line Item   Controls   Maintain Field Status Variants   .

Note Note

In this step, you must only maintain the field status definition groups for the G/L accounts that contain commitment items with financial transaction 30 (for example, revenue accounts). The corresponding fields should normally be hidden in G/L accounts that contain commitment items with a transaction other than 30.

If you want to reference earmarked funds when posting a payment, you must also designate the “Earmarked funds” additional account assignment as a required or optional entry.
