If you work with funds and have allotted budget across fiscal years, the fund balance carried forward allows a period-specific overview of the fund balances in Funds Management.

In this IMG activity, you specify the carryforward commitment item category for the balance carried forward and subsequently assign this to the carryforward commitment items.

  • If you have defined these settings for the balance carryforward (under Prerequisites), the balances of all commitment items which have the same carryforward item category are cumulated and carried forward to the carryforward commitment item assigned to the carryforward commitment item category in the new year.
  • If you do not define these settings, the balances are not carried forward (error message "no carry forward item category is entered in the commitment item ..") unless multi-year budget execution is activated in the FM area. If this is the case, the balances are carried forward to the new year without a change of account assignment.

The carryforward commitment item category is used to cumulate the balances of the actual values of previous year's commitment items to one or several carryforward commitment items in the following year. You can define several carryforward commitment item categories, which gives you a summary of commitment items according to certain logical aspects.

Dependencies

If multi-year budget execution is activated in IMG activity Activate Multi-Year Budget Execution, the fund balance carryforward is used to enable a fiscal year overview of open items in addition to the balance overview. In multi-year budget execution in the standard system, the carryforward is executed without summarization using commitment items. Therefore, you do not have to make any settings in this IMG activity.

If you want to summarize with active multi-year budget execution (for instance, for the value types under which actuals are updated in Funds Management) and want to use the settings defined in this IMG activity, you have to assign the strategy environment FBCF to your FM area and fiscal year under the activity Balance Carryforward Funds. You do this in IMG activity Assign Strategy for Reassignment to FM Area.

Requirements

The carryforward commitment item assigned to a commitment item category must be created within master data maintenance in the FM area and fiscal year.

Activities

  1. Enter the carryforward commitment item categories for each FM area.
  2. Choose Carryforward Item Category - Commitment Items and assign the carryforward commitment items to the carryforward item category for a respective fiscal year (fiscal year to which the balances are to be carried forward).
    The entry is valid until new requirements result in a new entry.
  3. Then define the defined carryforward item categories in the master record of the commitment items that can be posted directly.

Further notes

Only those funds with the indicator Balance Update set in their master record will be carried forward in the balance carryforward.
