Use

In this IMG activity, you define the account assignment derivation for RIB objects used for revenues increasing the budget.

Each account assignment to which you post revenues (such as customer invoices or expected revenues) is assigned to a budget address through the account assignment derivation of the budget structure. If you do not define a derivation strategy for your RIB objects, they will always be identical to the budget addresses assigned to the posting addresses used for collecting your revenues.

RIB objects serve two basic functions:

  • Aggregation of revenues and, if applicable, of revenue budget

    Posted revenues are assigned to a RIB object in two steps: first using the derivation strategy for budget addresses of the budget structure and then using the derivation strategy defined in this IMG activity. This allows for an independent definition of your budget structure and the creation of so-called "RIB rules". If you define RIB rules using relative limits (or thresholds), you have to enter revenue budget values for the budget addresses assigned to a RIB object, aggregating the revenue budget from several budget addresses.

  • Assignment of RIB rules

    Each rule for revenues increasing the budget must be assigned to a RIB object (= a particular revenues budget address). In this a rule, you specify the amount available for a budget increase, the relevant type of revenues and the receiving expenditures budget addresses.

Requirements

You have set up and assigned your derivation strategy for budget addresses of the budget structure in the IMG activity Define Derivation Strategy for Budget Addresses.

Notes

The derivation strategy for RIB objects consists of a sequence of derivation steps that are executed in the given order and which 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 = SPACE).

  • Assignment

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

  • Derivation rule

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

  • Table lookup

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

  • Function module

    In steps of type Function module, you can call a specific function module, for instance, for reading master data attributes of account assignment elements, or for searching for account assignment elements in master data hierarchies.

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

Standard settings

SAP does not deliver any standard implementation for the derivation strategy for RIB objects.

Recommendation

If you want to assign RIB rules on the level of revenue budget addresses assigned to your posting addresses (or even at the level of the posting addresses), you should not implement a derivation strategy for RIB objects: In this case, RIB objects will automatically be identical to the revenues budget addresses.

Activities

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

Further notes

  • The value of the account assignment element Grant is always identical in the budget address and the assigned RIB object.
  • The value of each account assignment element of the RIB object is identical with the value of the budget address, provided there is no step in the derivation strategy that changes the value of this target field.
