Symptom
Need to know how to carry forward budget/commitment value in SAP S/4HANA Cloud system.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
There is no tool for carry-forward of budget and commitment on non-PSM (not public sector managed) public cloud systems.
For budget control for WBS/projects, the time-range of budget can be chosen with annual budget or overall budget.
However, for budget control for cost centers, the time-range of budget can be chosen only with annual budget.
If annual budget time-range is chosen, then budget maintenance and budget check are always based on a specific fiscal year.
The fiscal year of a commitment is derived from delivery date of the purchase document.
The fiscal year of a GR (Goods Receipt) or IR (Invoice Receipt) is derived from posting date of the GR or IR.
As for specific using scenarios:
Assume that the open commitment of the PO was created on the fiscal year N(derived from delivery date of the PO), and the GR will be created with fiscal year N+1 (derived from posting date of the GR).
During the posting of GR, commitment would be reduced from fiscal year N, and actual cost would be added on fiscal year N+1. To avoid budget check error, then before the posting
- sufficient available budget has to be prepared on the fiscal year N+1, or
- the tolerance limits need to be increased in the corresponding budget availability control profile.
Alternatively,
- one can post the GR with fiscal year N by adjusting the posting date of the GR.
- Or, if one knows that GR would be posted on fiscal year N+1, then
-
- one can think of changing the delivery date of the PO to let the open commitment of the PO be moved from fiscal year N to N+1, where before the changing sufficient available budget has to be prepared on the fiscal year N+1,
- afterwards, no budget check error would be expected during posting a GR on fiscal year N+1 later.
One has to maintain budget or commitment or tolerance limits as above manually.
