Use

If the components Position Budgeting and Control (PA-PM-PB) and Funds Management (PSM-FM) run in two different systems, and you use the commitment processor for monitoring funds usage, you have to maintain a distribution model to guarantee that the systems communicate correctly with each other. In the rest of this text, the system for Position Budgeting and Control is called the HR system and the system for Funds Management is the A system.

Requirements

The A system must be release SAP R/3 4.6C.

Activities

You maintain the distribution model in the HR system in IMG activity Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views in the implementation guide of Application Link Enabling (ALE). Here you add the BAPI AcctngServices with method CheckAccountAssignment (check additional assignments) to the model view you want. You enter the HR system as the sender/client and the A system as the recipient/ server. The company code can be used as a filter object, in other words you can limit the company codes for which distribution is possible. You create a filter group for this by double-clicking on the recipient determination no filter and choosing the function Create Filter Group. You define the company codes that should be valid for distribution by double-clicking on the company code and including the company codes that you want in the input help.

To be able to post earmarked funds documents in the A system, you must enter the A system as the standard destination for BAPIs in the HR system in IMG activity Define RFC Destinations for Method Calls.

If you want an overview of all RFC connections for each company code in the HR system, execute program RFC Destination for each Company Code (RHRFPM_DESTINATION).

In order to navigate to the original HR documents in the A system, you must enter the HR system as the standard destination for dialogs in the A system in IMG activity Define RFC Destinations for Method Calls.

Note:
The navigation from the A system to the original document in HR does not work if the document was posted in the A system in component Grants Management (PSM-GM).

Account assignment elements (such as funds centers) are also created in the HR system. SAP recommends first creating the account assignment elements in the A system as they can be checked for consistency there. Then distribute them to the HR system using ALE to have them available there as input help.
