Commitment item differ

When executing transfer Plan from CO, and found the commitment item differ with the GL Account. Later this could cause problem when you’re using budget in FM modules. Budget will the transferred to commitment item from CO to FM module. But later, system will check the GL budget in transaction. So you get error message budget exceeded.

To solve this, check the FRC1, Allocation of Cost Element to FM Account Assignment. The commitment item in transaction FM9C are fetched from this data. Make the necessary change

Budget check when creates reservation, is it possible?

according to references I read on SAP forum and notes. It’s possible only if you’re using release ECC 6 or newer version. There’s a business function that has to be activated, find it here http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f5/e68093501d495fbf4b48ee977cb6ba/content.htm.

As for the notes, I refer to these:

1. Note 1321375 – Materials Reservation MM and Funds Management
2. Note 1278967 – Material Reservations Generated from MRP or a PM order

Unfortunately, my company still using release 4.6C, I couldn’t tell whether it really succeeded or not

 

PS Report: The object selection does not work as expected, dynamic selection problem

When you happen to use dynamic selection when executing PS standard reports, and resulting with following symptoms:

1. The object selection does not work as expected
2. Too many/not enough objects are selected.
3. The system display objects on the list screen which should not be displayed according to the chosen selection conditions or filters.

It’s probably because the dynamic selection has not been activated yet.  It’s on the database profile, via OPTX, select the database profile you use, then tick the dynamic selection.

 

Or for full explanation perhaps you can find these notes useful:
