SAP Finance Removing Funds Blocks

Purpose

If you generate personnel cost savings and want to ensure that the released budget cannot be used straight away, you have to define that the system automatically creates funds blocks in the component Funds Management when personnel costs savings are generated. You define this in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control. The budget can only be used for another purpose when you remove these funds blocks.

Prerequisites

The recording of personnel cost savings was activated in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control. It is also defined here that the system should automatically create a funds block for each personnel cost saving in the component Funds Management.

Process Flow

...

1. You generate personnel cost savings. You can find more information under Generating Personnel Cost Savings in the Budget from Vacancies.

2. You display the personnel cost savings to determine which FM account assignments have funds blocks you want to remove.

3. You remove the funds blocks.

Result

You have removed the funds blocks the system created in Funds Management for the personnel cost savings generated. Then the budget can be used for another purpose.
