Documentation

Definition

Specifies that the document from the commitments carryforward is automatically carried forward to the new fiscal year.

Use

The automatic commitments carryforward is executed in the following cases:

• Cross-fiscal year postings
  
  The open commitment is always assigned to a fiscal year in Funds Management. If the commitment of a document assigned to an earlier fiscal year is changed in the current fiscal year by a posting, this commitment is automatically carried forward to the new year.
  
  Documents that were created due to a cross-fiscal year posting are marked with 'X'.
  
  Prerequisites for the automatic commitments carryforward:
• the item to be carried forward is completely reduced, that is, has amount zero before the posting is made.
• the commitment is adjusted in the current period.
  
  This is the case, for example, during the payment selection in Funds Management and clearing reset. This prerequisite is only met for other postings relevant to commitment if the period-based commitment update (PBCU) is activated in Customizing of Funds Management Government. Otherwise the adjustment is always made to the posting date of the commitment document.
• Document transfer from other components with indicator.
  
  If you set the indicator Delete Old Data (also FYC) when you execute the programs for document transfer, for example, document transfer from Financial AccountingRFFMRPFI, automatic offsetting entries are made for the commitments carryforward executed.
  
  Documents that were created due to the document transfer to Funds Management are marked with 'R'.
• Deleting commitment and actual data
  
  If you do not set the indicator Do not delete documents in FYC when you execute the deletion programs (RFFMDLFI and RFFMDLOI, the programs delete all data that was updated in Funds Management . The program balances the carryforward and carryback data belonging to a document to zero using internal offsetting entries in order to guarantee the consistency of the data already affected by the commitments carryforward.

Documents that were created due the deletion process in Funds Management are marked with 'R'.

Dependencies

The following prerequisites are valid for all cases mentioned above for automatic commitments carryforward:

• The periods affected by the commitments carryforward are open for postings.
• The system setting allows the commitments carryforward for the value type affected.

Example

• You reset a clearing carried out in the previous year between invoice and payment in the current year.
• The period-based commitment update is active. You change the amount of a purchase order item posted in an earlier fiscal year that was posted with reference to a purchase requisition (for example, reduction of order amount) so that the purchase requisition commitment reappears in the current fiscal year.
