Purpose
This program migrates cover pools and/or unilateral cover eligibilityrules from Former Budgeting to cover groups in the Budget ControlSystem.

Prerequisites
To be able to run the migration program, you must first carry out thefollowing IMG activities for BCS:

• Activate BCS for your FM area and specify the starting year in
Activate Global Functions for Budget ControlSystem (BCS)

• Activate account assignment elements for the Budget Control System in
Activate Account Assignment Elements inBCS

• Activate cover eligibility for your FM area and specify the starting
year in Activate Cover Eligibility

• Create the necessary number ranges for cover groups in
Maintain Number Range for Cover Groups
If you use external number ranges in BCS, the system will reuse thecover pool number from Former Budgeting
Internal number ranges are used for BCS cover groups generated fromunilateral rules.

• Activate a budget category for your FM area in
Choose Budget Category
Standard checks are performed during the migration run. Therefore, youmust have previously defined the master data and budget structure (ifrelevant) for BCS.
Note
If you run the migration program several times for the same data (whichshould normally not occur), it is recommended that you first delete thecover groups generated in BCS using the transactionFMCEDELCG for automatic cover groups andFMCERULE for manual cover groups.

Features
Run the migration program for each FM area that you want to migrate toBCS.
During migration, selected cover pools (tables FMDECKRG and FMDECKHK )and unilateral CE rules (table FMEINDECK) from Former Budgeting will bemigrated to BCS in the form of cover groups (tables FMCECVGRP andFMCECGADDRS).
If necessary, select the Budget Memo templates (one template for eachrole - sender, receiver, receiver & sender) which should beassigned to the cover groups generated.
The report only considers:


• cover eligibility rules and cover pools related to expenditure
commitment items

• budget memo types 10 and 11 for cover pools


• budget memo types 12 and 13 for unilateral CE rules

Note
Inactive FB cover eligibility rules and cover pools are ignored duringthe migration run.
Restriction
FB budget memo templates cannot be migrated. If the migrated rules usedifferent templates in BCS, then you must rerun the migration usingdifferent a selection and template assignment.

Selection
You can migrate a selection of Former Budgeting cover pools. For this,specify if you want to migrate:


• manual cover pools


• automatic cover pools


• both

Note
You can only migrate active FB unilateral cover eligibility rules. Theselection is done via the fund of the receiver address. All rules withthe same receiver address (entitled to cover) will be migrated to BCS inthe form of a manual cover group, containing the receiver address andall the sender addresses (subject to cover).

Output
The program generates a detailed list with the results of the programrun if this option was chosen. This list contains the followinginformation on the migrated data:


• Former budgeting cover pool number


• BCS cover group number


• Category of cover group (manual or automatic)


• Receiver address for unilateral rules (for the fund, commitment item,
funds center and functional area).
If errors occur, an application log is generated and displayed. Forfurther information, see the Application Help topics on Migration to BCSin the SAP Library for Funds Management.
The list header contains:

• cover pools that were successfully migrated


• cover pools with errors that could not b migrated


• the migrated unilateral CE rules corresponding to the number of receiver
addresses sucessfully processed (regardless of the number of rules fromFormer Budgeting related to the budget address)

• unilateral CE rules with errors, corresponding to the number of receiver
addresses processed with errors (regardless of the number of rules fromFormer Budgeting related to the address).
