Features

When you post, the system creates a document for Financial Accounting. In Funds Management, the system only creates line items online for the FI line items for which you specified a commitment item with financial transaction 30 when posting.

Payments, partial payments, and residual items are not recorded online in Funds Management. To update this data, you must run the RFFMS200 program . For more information on this program, refer to the program documentation and Payment Selection .

Commitment and actual data is updated in Funds Management in periods that you can choose (months, weeks, and days). The Update Profile you choose in the Customizing of Funds Management Government determines the allocation of a payment flow to a particular period.

Note Note

Down payments and down payment requests

With down payments or down payment requests which reference a purchase order, the commitment item is always transferred from the purchase order irrespective of which commitment item is assigned to the given reconciliation accounts. Otherwise, the rules you have defined in your derivation strategy for account assignment derivation apply when you are entering FM account assignments. For more information on account assignment derivation, see Account Assignment Derivation .

If you have stipulated in your account assignment derivation that the assignment of commitment items to G/L account is fixed and cannot be overwritten manually. SAP recommends that you do not assign commitment items to the "Down payment request" and "Down payment" reconciliation accounts, but that you enter the FM account assignment manually or copy them from the previous document (example: from the purchase order or earmarked fund). It is unlikely that a default commitment item and a default funds center can be assigned to these reconciliation accounts, because down payments and down payment requests are attributable to different functional and responsibility areas.

Parked documents

Parked documents are only updated if they have the status "Complete".

Parked documents that reference an earmarked fund reduce the earmarked fund. Reference to a purchase order is, however, only informative. In this case, the FM account assignment is not transferred from the purchase order.

End of the note.

Activities

For posting data to be updated in Funds Management, you must always enter a complete FM account assignment (combination of funds center, commitment item, and, in given cases, fund and functional area) when making a posting. For more information, see Account Assignment Derivation
