 Deleting Cover Groups Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If specific cover groups are no longer in use, it is recommendable to delete them, so that they cannot be used inadvertently to fund expenditures, transfer budget or create RIB rules.

When you run transaction FMCEDELCG, all automatic, manual or revenue cover groups are deleted according to the selection criteria.

Note Note

End of the note.

When you delete automatic cover groups (automatic CE rules) with assigned budget addresses which already have budget or posting data , you must subsequently reconstruct the AVC ledgers involved using transaction FMAVCREINIT.

You can only delete revenue cover groups in cases where no RIB rules exist for them. If an RIB rule does exist, you must delete it before proceeding to delete the revenue cover group. If RIB documents exist for the RIB rule, then you must also reverse these documents before deleting the RIB rule.

Prerequisites

You have generated cover groups using transaction FMCEGENCG and the derivation strategy for generating cover groups, or using manual maintenance (transaction FMCERULE).

Procedure

To delete cover groups, proceed as follows:

  1. Via the main menu for   Public Sector Management   Funds Management   Master Data   Usage of Account Assignment Elements   Budget Control System (BCS)   Cover Eligibility   Cover Eligibility Rule   , access transaction FMCEDELCG Delete .

  2. In the initial screen, you can restrict the cover groups to be deleted. First, select the categories of cover groups you want to delete. You can select any of the three categories: Automatic, Manual, or Revenue. Then choose the budget categories or ledgers of the cover groups to be deleted. You can further restrict the selection by directly defining selection options for the cover groups, or by specifying ranges for the account assignment elements of the budget addresses involved in the cover groups you want to delete.

  3. Specify whether you first want to carry out a test run, and if necessary, the layout to be used for the output.

  4. Run the transaction.

Result

The selected cover groups have been deleted. The output list contains the deleted cover groups with their assigned budget addresses. If there were errors during the deletion of cover groups, you can also display an error log.
