In this step, you define one or more strategies for determining how certain attributes can be used to derive Grants Management (GM) objects.

You can use account assignment derivation to automatically determine the values of GM account assignments from other account assignments, as longas there is a logical dependency between them.

The account assignment derivation consists of a sequence of derivation steps - known as the derivation strategy. It is used to sequentially derive the values for GM account assignments from other account assignments.

Each derivation step describes how a number of target fields adopt the values from a number of target fields.

There are a number of different Derivation Step Types that can be used to represent different kinds of logical dependency between source and target fields, as follows:

  • Derivation Rule
  • Table Access
  • Assignment
  • Initialization
  • Enhancement
  • Function Module
    • FMDT_CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUT
      Use this function to convert alphanumeric fields to output format.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_ACCOUNT_COMPANY
      Use this function to retrieve the G/L Account Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET
      Use this function to retrieve the Asset Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_CMMT_ITEM
      Use this function to retrieve the Commitment Item Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_COST_CENTER
      Use this function to retrieve the Cost Center Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_FUND
      Use this function to retrieve the Fund Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_FUNDS_CTR
      Use this function to retrieve the Funds Center Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_ORDER
      Use this function to retrieve the Order Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_ORDER_OPERATION
      Use this function to retrieve the Operation Order Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_ORDER_SD_HEADER
      Use this function to retrieve the SD Order header information.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_ORDER_SD_ITEM
      Use this function to retrieve the SD Order line item information.
    • FMDT_READ_MD_WBS_ELEMENT
      Use this function to retrieve the WBS Element Master Data.
    • FMDT_READ_ORDER_NP_FROM_FMZUOB
      Use this function to retrieve the Network header assignment to FM.
    • FMDT_READ_ORDER_NV_FROM_FMZUOB
      Use this function to retrieve the Network Activity assignment to FM.
    • FMDT_READ_ORDER_PM_FROM_FMZUOB
      Use this function to retrieve the PM Order assignment to FM.
    • FMDT_READ_ORDER_SD_FROM_FMZUOB
      Use this function to retrieve the SD Order assignment to FM.

Requirements

Standard settings

We deliver a standard strategy called SAP:

  • The strategy is blank if you are using this tool for the first time.
  • If you are migrating from an earlier release you had installed, the strategy contains the rules you defined in the release from which you are migrating.

You must assign a company code to each strategy. Each company code can only be assigned to one strategy.

Recommendation

Activities

  1. To create a new strategy, choose New Entries in the "Strategy Environments" overview and enter an identifier and descriptive text for your strategy.
  2. Having saved your new entry, return to the full list.
  3. To assign a company code to a strategy, select it and choose Company Code Assignment in the dialog structure.
  4. In the resulting overview, choose New Entries and enter the company code(s) you want to assign to this strategy.
  5. To enter derivation rules for your new strategy, select it in the "Strategy Environments" overview and choose Maintain Strategy.
  6. In the next overview, choose Maintain Step.
  7. Select Derivation rule in the popup, then enter the following:
    • Source fields and target fields
    • If the derivation is to be subject to any conditions, specify these on the Conditions tab.
    • Some attributes can be applied to the derivation too - for example, you can have the system issue an error message if derivation is not possible, or you can enter a starting validity date. Make these specifications on the Attributes tab.
