Programme SAP RFFMPLAN_ACT - Derive Financial Budget from Previous Year Actual Data

Purpose
Auxiliary program for creating or changing a financial budget usingactual values from the previous year

Prerequisites
You specify the FM area and the plan version to be processed, alongwith the fiscal year.
The program then imports all the actual values (for the value types"payment", "down payment", and "payment transfers") and transfers themto the same period in the financial budget specified.

Features
A scaling factor of other than 100 changes the amounts (for example,110 transfers the values and increases them by 10%).
You can choose whether the calculated actual values are added to anyexisting plan values or simply overwrite them.
You can also restrict the actual value selection to particularcommitment items, company codes, or transaction currencies.

Note the following special feature:
Planning is only possible for commitment items with financialtransaction 30 (expenditure/revenue). However, actual values can existin commitment items with higher financial transactions (for example,payments on account in items with financial transaction 60).
During the transfer, amounts in commitment items with higher financialtransactions are transferred to the commitment items for unassignedrevenues and expenditures.

Output
Short log, showing how many planning records were created.

Example
You want to transfer the planned payments for personnel using lastyear's actual values. To this end, you restrict the program to theappropriate HR commitment items. You can use variable scaling to takeaccount of price changes.
