Programme SAP RFFMCCF1_CHAIN - Closing Operations: Carryforward Open Items (Chains)

Title
Fiscal Year Change: Commitment Carryforward with Document Chains

Purpose
You can use this program to carryforward document items of a documentchain in Funds Management for open and consumed commitment for an FMarea and fiscal year to the next fiscal year.
If it is defined in the Customizing of Funds Management that thecommitment carryforward must run through an approval procedure, thisprogram selects the items that you can then approve using programApproval of Carryforward of Open Items(Chains) (RFFMCCF_APPROVE_CHAIN).

Prerequisites
In the Customizing of Funds Management, the commitmentcarryforward with document chains is activated in theBasic Settings for the CommitmentCarryforward.
The individual document items in the chain must have the same accountassignment.
The following prerequisites must also be fulfilled:

Features
Commitment document items linked together, such as earmarked funds andinvoices or purchase requisitions and purchase orders, form chains. Thedocument item at the beginning of the chain is the original documentitem.
The carried forward consumed amount of each chain document item is thetotal of the carried forward open amounts of all follow-on documents.However, this principle does not apply if the last item of the chain(for example, an invoice) was excluded from the carryforward due to theCustomizing settings.
The transferability and the structure of the chains are determined bythe selected update profileand the settings in the Customizing of Funds Management thatdetermine which value types of documents (for example, invoice) in an FMarea/fiscal year can be carried forward. The following rules apply:

  • If the carryforward is not allowed for the last chain item, the chain is
  • carried forward without the last item.
    • If the carryforward is not allowed for an item within a chain, the
    • entire chain is not carried forward as the continuity of the chain isbroken.
      Chains or subchains that are completely reduced or completed are notcarried forward.

      Selection
      The program processes the chains to be carried forward based on yourselection criteria. For more information on this, see the documentationon program RFFMCCF1 in section "Selection". Note thatyou can only execute the carryforward with chains without parallelprocessing.
      Even if you limit the selection to certain documents, the programselects all previous and follow-on documents and thereby completes thechain.
      In Process with Dialog
      The program issues a list of original document items for each chainwhich represent the chains and you can process as follows:

      • To trigger the processing of a chain, select the chain and choose
      • Carry Forward Selection.
        • By double-clicking on a chain, you can branch to the list of line items
        • for the chain. You can also assign the processing type in this detaillist and display consumed Overall amounts that can be carriedforward.
          • You can branch to the document display by double-clicking on a item.
          • Output
            The program issues a list of the chains carried forward with thecorresponding processing types. By double-clicking on a chain you canbranch to the list of the chain line items carried forward. You can alsodisplay all carried forward, open and consumed Overall amounts.
            Two or four lines are displayed for the carried forward documents in theline item report in the information system:

            • A line with amount type Carryover Previous Year Commitment (300)
            • and the last special period (for example, 16) for the old fiscal year.
              • A line with the amount type Carryover Subsequent Year Commitment
              • (350) and the period 0 for the new fiscal year.
                • A line with the amount type Original (351). and in accordance
                • with the number of follow-on document items with the amount typeReduction (352) as well as period 1 for the new fiscal year.
                  The carryover amount types (350/351) match the open amounts and theamount types "original" (351) and "reduction" (352) correspond with theconsumed amounts.

                  Example
                  You want to carry forward the following chain:

                  • Funds reservation = 100 Euro

                  • Funds precommitment = 60 Euro

                  • Funds commitment = 40 Euro

                  • Invoice = 10 Euro

                  • You will have the following chain in the next fiscal year:
                    Funds reservation = 100 Euro (40 open amount + 60 consumed amount )
                    Funds precommitment = 60 Euro (20 open amount + 40 consumed amount)
                    Funds commitment = 40 Euro (30 open amount + 10 consumed amount)
                    Invoice = 10 Euro (10 open amount)
                    If you do not allow the carryforward of invoices, the invoice is removedfrom the chain in the old year and you will receive the following chainin the next year:
                    Funds reservation = 90 Euro (40 open amount + 50 consumed amount )
                    Funds precommitment = 50 Euro (20 open amount + 30 consumed amount)
                    Funds commitment = 30 Euro (30 open amount)
