Note:
The settings affected here are exclusively reserved for the use of the Budget Control System (BCS).

Use

In this IMG activity, you define the document types you want to use for budget postings in Funds Management.

You can use different document types to classify your budget entry documents. By using different document types, you can classify budget entry documents according to your user-specific criteria, by assigning meaningful names to the individual document types used within your organization.

Workflow

Using the entry document type, you also control whether the budget posted provisionally in a budget entry document is to be used in a workflow-controlled approval procedure or not. If you want to use a workflow for provisionally posted budget, set the Workflow indicator for this document type in this IMG activity.

For more information on activating the workflow in BCS, see Role Definition: Preposted Budget in Budget Control System.

Using the document type, you also control the scenario to be supported within an entry document. You can choose between the following scenarios:

  • Budget only - only budgeted amounts are contained in the entry document
  • Release only - only released amounts are contained in the entry document
  • Budget with automatic release - you can restrict the entry document to specific budgeting processes: enter, return, supplement, transfer. In the specific case of a transfer process (send / receive), the following applies:
    • If the sender side is chosen, only released budget can be transferred. Budget will be updated on the receiver side.
    • If the receiver side is chosen, only unreleased budget can be transferred. Budget will be released on the receiver side.
  • Statistical only - only statistical values are contained in the entry document.

Requirements

You must assign each entry document type that you define here to a number range. It is also possible to assign the same number range for different document types. To do this, you must first create a number range and a number range interval for budget entry documents.

Standard settings

SAP does not provide any predefined settings.

Activities

  1. Choose New Entries and define the document types and their number range assignments.
  2. Save your entries.
