Use

In this IMG activity, you define a derivation strategy for generating cover eligibility rules.

Using a derivation strategy, you can assign budget addresses to new cover groups or to existing cover groups, as required for defining cover eligibility rules. You must assign the following values to a given budget address:

  • Role of the selected budget address. This is the role assumed in the cover group (or cover eligibility rule).
  • Cover group, if the budget address is to be assigned to an existing cover group (or cover eligibility rule)

    or

  • Another budget address, which should belong to the same cover group (or cover eligibility rule) as the selected budget address
  • Category of Cover Group: If the budget address is to be assigned to a new cover group (or cover eligibility rule), you must decide whether you want to use manual or automatic cover groups.
  • Checkmark the indicator "Do Not Assign Budget Address", in the derivation test window, if the selected budget address should not be assigned to a cover group (or cover eligibility rule).
  • A cover group text, if you want to assign a text to the cover group description.
  • if you work with budget memos for cover eligibility rules, you must also assign a budget memo template for each possible role of the budget address, for instance, a template for receiver addresses.

Notes

The derivation strategy for the generation of cover eligibility rules consists of a sequence of derivation steps. These are executed in the given order and use one of the following step types:

  • Initialization

    In derivation steps of step type Initialization you can set the value of any target field to its initial value (usually = BLANK).

  • Assignment

    In steps of step type Assignment, you can assign the value of any source field or a constant value to a target field.

  • Derivation rule

    In derivation steps of step type Derivation rule, you set up database tables, where you can enter combinations of values of source fields that should correspond to certain combinations of target fields.

    Please note that you can maintain table entries for derivation steps of type Derivation rule from the menu via transaction FMCERGR.

  • Table lookup

    In steps of step type Table lookup, you can access individual records of database tables.

All derivation steps defined here can be linked to conditions which must be met before the derivation step can be executed.

For further information, see the documentation on derivation strategies used in FM.

Requirements

The mass generation of cover eligibility rules only applies to automatic rules, that is, to cover groups of the category automatic.

Before starting the mass generation of cover eligibility rules via transaction FMCEGENCG, you must have carried out all previous IMG activities in this section, as well as implemented the derivation strategy for generating cover eligibility rules.

Standard settings

SAP does not deliver any standard implementation of the derivation strategy.

Activities

  1. Edit the derivation strategy by adding the appropriate derivation steps.
  2. Save your strategy.
  3. Test or transport your strategy using the appropriate buttons or menu functions.

Further notes

For further details on the automatic generation of cover eligibility rules, refer to the documentation of the program Generate Cover Eligibility Rules.
