Hello
We are putting in a fairly simple installation of BCS, with the only requirement being availability control against PR's and PO's at cost center/cost element level. We have set up funds centers with a one to one mapping with cost centers, and commitment items with a one to one mapping with cost elements. I have set up a warning for when 50% of the budget is exhausted.
I have selected an update profile so PO/PR are checked based on due date. There are a couple of things I am confused about.
We are only interested in POs and PRs raised against cost centers or WBS elements, so not POs and PRs into stock. In this case, what is the due date? Is it the baseline date for payment or the expected delivery date?
Do I need to carryforward commitment items? In the case say of a PO posted in December 2015, but a due date of 2016, this will go against the 2016 budget anyway right? We do not want to carryforward budget ever, a new budget will always be uploaded as part of the year-end.
Thanks in advance
Herb
