Purpose
This program provides you with a list of predefined steps ("functioncalls") that you can import into your strategy for derivingavailability control objects. You can obtain detailed information,including some application examples, for each predefined step byselecting the checkbox next to the step description and pressing F1.

Integration
After importing a selected predefined step into your strategy, youusually have to edit your strategy using transaction FMAVCDERIAO inorder to add additional steps of type Move. For more details,refer to the application examples given in the help (F1).

Features
You may run this program again to add any predefined steps to yourstrategy.

Example
You want to derive the superior commitment item within the commitmentitem standard hierarchy. In this case you have to enter your strategy,check the box next to Determine superior commitment item , andexecute the program. Then you have to edit your strategy usingtransaction FMAVCDERIAO and add some derivation steps of the typeMove.
Your strategy may utimately contain the following steps:

• MOVE: source = field CMMTITEM, target = field USERCMMTITEM


• FUNCTION CALL: Determine superior commitment item


• MOVE: source = field USERCMMTITEM, target = field RCMMTITEM

Further notes
If you want to derive the commitment item which is TWO hierarchylevels above the commitment item of the budget address, then youhave to use two consecutive function calls. Your strategy may thereforecontain the following steps:


• MOVE: source = field CMMTITEM, target = field USERCMMTITEM


• FUNCTION CALL: Determine superior commitment item


• FUNCTION CALL: Determine superior commitment item


• MOVE: source = field USERCMMTITEM, target = field RCMMTITEM
