Use

You use these functions to define how the commitment budget should be carried forward to the following year during closing operations.

Integration

You must define the parameters used for the commitment carryforward. Budget changes in the previous year and/or the following year depend on whether you use the statistics indicator for the commitment carryforward.

Entry documents that depend on the statistics indicator for the commitment carryforward

Without statistics indicator

A budget entry document is generated with the Carryover process. The FM account assignments and fiscal years involved are logged in the sender and receiver lines in the entry document.

With statistics indicator

No budget entry document is generated.

Statistics indicator only in the following year

A budget entry document is posted with the Return process in the previous year.

Statistics indicator only in previous year

A budget entry document for the following year is posted with the Enter process.

The Derivation Strategy for Budget Addresses is used to determine the budget addresses you created for defining a budget structure, and to which the budget carryforward can be posted. The corresponding budget address is determined from the posting address of a commitment.

Features

The budget carryforward for commitments and the corresponding entry documents are generated from the commitment carryforward at the time of closing operations.

Whereas the budgeting process used in the entry document depends on whether you have set the statistics indicator, further settings for the BCS commitment budget carryforward can be defined in Customizing.

  • For each value type, you can define whether a budget carryforward of commitment is activated or deactivated.

  • You define the document type and budget type for which a budget carryforward should be posted by default and also determine the posting periods in which this budget should be carried forward.

  • You can also use a Business Add-In to enhance the standard settings of the entry documents to be generated so that they include customer-specific data.

Activities

You define BCS-specific settings for the budget carryforward in the Customizing of Funds Management, under   Closing Operations   Closing Operations Budget Control System (BCS).  

For more information, see the documentation of the corresponding Customizing activities.
