SAP Program RFFMPLAN_CO - Derive Financial Budget from Cost Plan

Purpose
This program transfers data from cost planning to financial budgeting,for each company code and with a time delay.

Integration
The program considers only primary CO plan data from table COST for thefollowing:
RKP1 Primary cost planning
RKP5 Revenue element planning
The commitment item is derived from the G/L account (in the companycode) belonging to the cost or revenue element.

Prerequisites
The program assumes that the FM area assigned to the company code hasthe same periods as the controlling area.
You must enter the company code, fiscal year for the plans and the planversions for the costs plan (source) and financial budget (target). Asthe time delay usually means that the cost plan for the previuos yearis accessed, you must enter the plan version for that too.

Features
The program takes account of the delay between costs and payments bygiving you the option of transferring the amount some periods later,rather than within the same period. The process can be split into amaximum of five steps. In the same way, you need not transfer 100% ofthe costs, but can use another factor (for example, a 10% surcharge).
You can choose whether the calculated plan values are added to anyexisting plan values or simply overwrite them.
You can restrict the CO plan data to be read to particular costcenters, WBS elements, or orders. Restriction to commitment items (andthereby to cost elements) is also possible. You can also stipulate thatonly data planned in particular transaction currencies should betransferred.

Output

  • Number of financial budget records just created

  • List of cost elements for which no suitable commitment item was found.
  • Example
    You want to transfer cost plan data to financial planning, and assumethat 10% of the costs will lead to payments in the same period, 40% inthe following period, and the rest in the period after that. To thisend, you run the program with the following period delay/scaling:
    000 / 10
    001 / 40
    003 / 50
    If there is more than one company code in your FM area and you want togenerated a plan for the whole FM area, you should add the values forthe second, third etc. company codes to the existing values.
