In this IMG activity, you define your account assignment derivation as a derivation strategy. You do this by choosing the derivation steps relevant for your organization from those in the derivation strategy defined by SAP.
You can use account assignment derivation to automatically determine Funds Management account assignments values from other account assignments as long as a logical dependency exists between them.
Recommendation
Customers implementing Funds Management for the first time
SAP recommends that customers implementing Funds Management for the first time define their own derivation strategy by defining their own derivation steps in Define Account Assignment Derivation, as the derivation steps shipped as standard cannot be changed. In this way, you can tailor your account assignment derivation precisely to your individual requirements. It is possible to use the standard derivation steps as a reference when making your own definitions.
Customers already using Funds Management
Customers already using Funds Management (Release 4.6C or IS-PS 4.61) define their derivation strategy by choosing the derivation steps relevant for their organization from those steps shipped as standard.
Note that defining your own derivation strategy can reduce the maintenance of the rules for account assignment derivation.
Up until now, if, for example, the funds center and cost center had the same name, the funds center was derived from the cost center, each cost must be assigned to a funds center. If you define your own derivation strategy, you can map this relationship with a single derivation step.
The derivation strategy delivered by SAP comprises the following nine steps that correspond to the account assignment logic in Funds Management that was in the standard system up until now:
Cost element for commitment item
The "Cost Element to Commitment Item" derivation step uses cost element as source field and commitment item as target field. The assignment is created as date-dependent and can be created using cost element ranges. The step is not dependent on company code, controlling area, or FM area.
Cost center/cost element for commt item/funds ctr/fund/functional area
The "Cost Center/CE to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses controlling area, cost center and cost element as source fields and commitment item, funds center, fund, and functional area as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent. Any source field can be used via value ranges.
Cost center for commitment item/funds center/fund/functional area
The "Cost Center to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses controlling area and cost center as source fields and commitment item, funds center, fund, and functional area as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent. Any source field can be assigned via value ranges.
Order/cost element for commt item/funds center/fund/functional area
The "Order/CE to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses order number and cost element as source fields and commitment item, funds center, fund, and function as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent. Any source field can be used via value ranges.
Order for commitment item/funds center/fund/functional area
The "Order to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses order number as source field and commitment item, funds center, fund, and function as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent. Any source field can be used via value ranges.
WBS element/cost element for commt item/funds ctr/fund/functional area
The "WBS Element/CE to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses WBS element and cost element as source fields and commitment item, funds center, fund, and function as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent. Any source field can be used via value ranges.
WBS element for commitment item/funds center/fund/functional area
The "WBS Element to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses WBS element as source field and commitment item, funds center, fund, and function as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent and the WBS element can be used via value ranges when creating the assignments.
Profit center/cost element to commt item/funds ctr/fund/functional area
The "Profit Center/CE to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses the
- profit center and cost element
as the source fields, and
- commitment item, funds center, fund, and function
as the target fields.
The assignment is created as date-dependent. Any source field can be used via value ranges when maintaining the assignments.
Profit center for commitment item/funds center/fund/functional area
The "Profit Center to Commitment Item/Funds Ctr/Fund/Function" derivation step uses profit center as source field and commitment item, funds center, fund, and function as target fields. The assignment is created as date-dependent and the profit center can be used via value ranges when creating the assignment entries.
Activities
- Check which derivation steps from the derivation strategy defined by SAP are relevant for the derivation of account assignments in your organization and whether you want to create your own derivation strategy.
If you want to use the account assignment logic that applied up until now, you must select all derivation steps. - Select the relevant derivation steps.
The derivation steps you choose are stored in the system as the derivation strategy valid for your organization under the name SAP. - You can edit your derivation strategy in the IMG activity Define Account Assignment Derivation. You do this by:
- Defining additional steps yourself
- Deleting standard steps
- Changing the sequence of steps
