Purpose
Use this procedure to carry forward all or selected open Funds Management commitments
documents for an FM area and fiscal year to the next fiscal year using this program – this
process makes the commitment item available to be drawn down on the next fiscal years
budget.

Trigger
Perform this procedure at year end so that outstanding purchase requisitions, purchase orders
funds reservations etc are available to be drawn down on in the next fiscal year.

Prerequisites
That there are commitment item documents in the system that are still open and therefore
eligible to carry forward to the next fiscal year.

Menu Path
Use the following menu path(s) to begin this transaction:
SAP Menu Accounting Public Sector Management Funds Management
Additional Functions Closing Operations Commitments/Actuals Commitment Carry
Forward Documents FMJ2 – Carry Forward Documents

Transaction Code
FMJ2

Helpful Hints
Select each Value Type separately so as to have manageable groups of open items that are
being carried forward. Value types are linked to documents that carry commitments: purchase
requisitions, purchase orders, funds reservations, parked documents, etc.

Whereas it is possible to run this process without narrowing the parameter, but there
will be a significant number of documents so it will be more meaningful and
manageable to use one or more of the parameters and narrow the selection.

3. As required, complete/review the following fields:

Field Name R/O/C Description

Sender Fiscal Year R The fiscal year for the document that has the open
commitment that is being carried over to the next year.
Example: 2011
Grant O Legal instrument used to establish a funding relationship
between a sponsor (grantor) and grantee, in order to carry out
a public purpose of support or stimulation in which the
sponsor does not expect to be substantially involved. A grant
may be for any purpose and cover all or only part of the costs
of the project in question. You must enter a grant type for
each grant you create in Grants Management (GM). The grant
as an object has a finite lifecycle, divided into stages. Each
stage is represented in the GM solution by a system status.

Not used by the Region at this time.

Field Name R/O/C Description

Fund O Funds represent separate and distinct funding sources. Funds


represent a self-balancing set of accounts with the
functionality to maintain a net asset balance and carry forward
that balance. Funds represent the lowest level of funding
required for budgeting and monitoring.
Example: 1000
Funds Center O Funds Center represents the organizational areas of
responsibility for budgetary monitoring and reporting. Budget
is assigned to Funds Centers and postings can be controlled
against this budget based on the linking of other
organizational objects. Fund Centers will be designed on a
1:1 basis with Cost Centers.

Commitment Item O A numeric code of the commitment items for which you are
creating, changing, and displaying or assigning budget.

Functional Area O The Functional Area is a unit that classifies the expenditures,
revenues and budget of an organization by a dimension other
than organization.

Funded Program O Funded Program is the FM equivalent to the Internal Order,


which is a temporary cost collector. An Internal Order is
typically used to identify and track costs associated with a
specific attribute, source, program, project or task. An Internal
Order may be used to track costs at a lower or more discrete
level than that of.

Variant Name O Specifies predetermined set of conditions. Examples include


report variants, costing variants, posting period variant, fiscal
year variant, etc.

Value Type O The value type is a technical classification characteristic in


Funds Management for individual business transactions.
From a business perspective it is best described by “a degree
of budget consumption” (ex: 50 - purchase requisition; 51 -
purchase order; 54 - invoice, etc.)
Example: 51

Value Types available


50 Purchase Requisitions
51 Purchase Orders

Field Name R/O/C Description

Company Code O A numeric code that uniquely identifies the Company. The
company is the independent accounting unit or in most cases
is a legal entity. WRHA is the sole ‘Company’ configured in
SAP and has a code of 1000. You can prepare a balance
sheet and income statement for each company code.

Document Number O The unique identification value assigned to a business event


as it is processed in SAP; the system automatically creates
and assigns document numbers as each document is posted-
-manual assigning of document numbers is not possible.

FI doc.no.fisc.year O Period, 12 months as a rule, for which the company is to


create its inventory and balance sheet. The fiscal year can be
the same as the calendar year, but does not have to be.

Test Run O When selected, the results of the transaction will be


displayed, but not posted.

Process with Dialog O If you set this indicator, the data will not be processed
immediately when the program is run, a proposal list of items
is generated first. You can then select the items that the
program should process from this list and trigger the
processing of these items by selecting Carryforward
Selection.

Block Documents O Determines whether the individual commitment documents


processed by the program with the carryforward are blocked
during the run. The document block ensures that no
document changes and postings can be executed during the
program run, so that no data errors can occur. As each
document is blocked individually, the document block can
have a negative effect on performance with large volumes of
documents. You have the option of deactivating the document
block. In this case, however, you have to ensure that no
document changes and postings will be executed in the
processing FM area during the program run.

Detail List O Defines that the program issues a detailed list of processed
line items. If you do not set this indicator, you only get a totals
record log. Nevertheless, line items that the program could
not process because of errors are issued individually. To
improve the performance of the program and to save memory
space, you should not generate a line item list when
processing a large number of line items.

Layout R Name of the layout that impacts how planning information is


presented by the transaction using it.

Availability Control R Description of the Availability Control.
