Use

In this IMG activity, you use the Derivation Tool to create derivation rules. These enable you to derive the G/L accounts to be used for the budgetary ledger.

Note
The Derivation Tool is designed to strictly derive G/L accounts. You cannot use it to check whether to post a BL document or not, because if the tool does not find a result, it issues an error message of incomplete Customizing. Nevertheless, by setting up the Derivation Tool in order to derive the pairs of G/L accounts suitable for deletion, you can avoid the creation of additional budgetary ledger posting lines.

Requirements

Since for budgeting processes the budgetary ledger only works together with the Budget Control System, you must have previously installed it.

Furthermore, you must previously have selected the source fields to be used for creating a derivation strategy for the budgetary ledger in the IMG activity Select Source Fields for Account Assignment Derivation.

Standard settings

SAP does not deliver any standard settings.

Activities

  1. In the popup for this IMG activity, select a strategy environment, determining whether you want to use the budgetary ledger for budget postings or for commitment postings.
  2. Click on Create Step to create a new step for your derivation strategy.
  3. In order to create a derivation rule, select the source and target fields and maintain the field values. If you want to use G/L offset accounts, select the corresponding target field for this.
  4. Save your entries.

Note
If you are posting budget returns, the posting lines in the budgetary ledger will have a reversed order. The reason for this is that when you make a debit posting, the credit side of the account is reduced. When you make a credit posting, the debit side of the account is reduced.

You can test your derivation rules by clicking on the Test button. In the popup, enter the source values and click on Derive. The results will be displayed if Customizing has been properly carried out. If not, you will receive an error message.
Clicking on the Display Trace button enables you to follow the derivation process step by step, searching for possible incorrect Customizing settings.
