BUDGET CONTROL SYSTEM (BCS) REFERENCE MANUAL

On July 1, 2010, SAP Budget Execution will be migrated from former budgeting to
the Budget Control System (BCS). The transactions that you are currently using
within SAP to manage and monitor your budget will be changing. For example,
budget transfers will no longer be parked using transaction FR69. Instead, you will
be using the Budgeting Workbench transaction FMBB to prepost your budget transfer
documents.

Preposting a Budget Document in BCS
with Budgeting Workbench (FMBB)
BCS TRANSACTION CHANGE: Preposting a document in BCS is the equivalent
of parking a document in former budgeting. Process transaction Transfer will be
used in this example since it is the most common budget document that Business
Areas generate using Budget Adjustment Transactions. See Appendix K for a
complete list of BCS Budgeting Workbench (FMBB) Process Transactions.

The versatility of FMEDDW can best be illustrated by its use as a replacement for the
reports: Budget Documents V2 Posted Report (Y_DC1_32000824) and Budget
Documents V2 Parked Report (Y_DC1_32000826). [These former budget reports will
continue to be available for pre-FY2010 data]. Remember that before a BCS Budget
document is posted it is Preposted (not Parked) to enter workflow. Therefore,
selecting BCS Document Status as one report criterion (in combination with any
other business area budget variable or variables), will yield the same results as the
former budget parked and posted document reports. The BCS Display Budget Entry
Documents as a report opens many data variables that can be used as report criteria
that were not previously available in the former budget reports (examples include
date range, document creator, etc). This display is an excellent resource for both
business area users as well as approvers, as it provides information in real time.

BUDGET USAGE REPORT (FMRP_RW_BUDCON)
OVERVIEW OF BUDGET CONSUMPTION REPORT
GENERAL: Prior to BCS the FM Budgetary Review report (Y_DC1_32000238) and the
FM Budgetary Review Detail report (Y_DC1_32000602) allowed the user to specify
the summary level of detail he/she needed in the report generated. This budget
report expands the level of report-detail the user can specify, and also allows the
user to adjust and fine tune and/or drilldown on the level of detail presented after
the report is generated without the necessity of the user having to re-run the report.

Item (or range of commitment items) is specified, the report that will be
generated will be only for those selected Commitment Items separated and

Each folder contains approximately the last 20 documents you have processed,
although wide fluctuations have been observed in actual displays of individual users.
This function does NOT display documents created by other users. Clicking on any of
the documents listed under these folders will cause the document to display. If you
are interested in displaying a document that is not listed or a document created by
another user, you must use the FMEDD transaction and enter the document number
(see page 11).

NOTE: The contents of Documents of FM Area COPA folders will refresh to reflect
changes in document status (example Preposted to Posted), but NOT usually as an
auto-update. Typically documents will remain in the screen display folder
consistent with their status in the current BCS session until one of two conditions is
met: 1) The session is ended and then restarted; or 2) the user clicks on the
document at which time BCS checks and the document status is refreshed.
Example a document created as Preposted will be listed in the Preposted Folder
and will not move to the Posted Folder (after the document actually has been
posted) until the user clicks on the document to display it, (or if the user ends the
current session and logs back in).

It is because of these tenets that users who generate the same type of document

APPENDIX C: Creating a Document by Reference

In BCS once a document is Preposted, NO changes may occur. (This is regardless of
user role Comptroller, GBO, BFM). Any Preposted document that requires changes
or modifications to Fund, Funds Center, Commitment Item, text, etc., can ONLY be
rejected and a new document created and submitted. However, this is not quite as
labor intensive as it may sound since BCS permits the creation of new documents
with reference to previous documents.

APPENDIX G: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What happens to budget workflow with BCS does it go away or can it be
changed to streamline my budget process?
A: Budget workflow as used in former budgeting will neither go away, nor be
changed by BCS implementation. With BCS your business area budget workflow
should be identical to budget workflow under former budgeting. Changes to budget
workflow require submission of a Remedy Ticket via your business area IT Help desk.
Tr
ia
Q: How do I enter text after I have preposted a transfer document and receive a
message that text is missing?
A: If you receive an error message before the document preposts (is assigned a
number in BCS), add the text, recheck the document, and prepost it. If the message
is from one of the document approvers, the document must be rejected (by the
approver making the request), re-created, and then preposted.
Q: When will I be able to spend the money that was transferred?
A: The funds will not be availalbe until the document is fully posted (completes
ud
io
workflow). You can determine whether posting has occurred either by checking the
BI balance for your fund, or checking when the document number appears in your
posted folder in Document Overview. When the document is fully posted the funds
that were to be transferred through the document are available.
St
Q: I entered a document and preposted; why is it not in my preposted folder?

A: Check in your posted folder. The document may have been approved by all
level approvers and subsequently posted. Once posted, the document moves to the
appropriate display folder.
PD
Q: I receive an error, how can I tell what is wrong?

A: If it is not stated in the error, click on the error icon at the bottom of your screen
to display the full error text.
sk
Q. How do I find my document number if it isnt in the posted folder on document
de
overview?
A: If you are in Budgeting Workbench transaction FMBB, go to Edit and choose the
match key icon. This takes you to the Search Effective search screen. You can
search by entering your user id in Created by and a date range in Document Date
then click execute.
Q. Does anything change regarding Funds Reservations?

A: No. The Funds Reservation process remains the same; the ONLY change
pertaining to Earmarked Funds Transactions relates to Funds Blocking (FMW1). This
is now covered as a Budget Transaction.

Q: Our appropriation uses SubFunds; will they roll-up for new BCS FM (Budget)
Available Balances Report (level1/1)?
A: SubFunds do not rollup each SubFund will act as Fund, Fund Center Level 1 and
Commitment Item Level 1 for the FMAVC report. However, PennDOT is an exception
and PennDOT users should reference Appendix H.
Q: I have just discovered that our business area has Double-entered a document;
how can we correct this?
A: The simplest remedy is for you is to reverse the document. To do this open the
document in Budgeting Workbench (FMBB); click on the word Document on your
control line; select Reverse from the drop down menu and click. The document is
now reversed and should appear in the appropriate folder in the Overview area of
your Budgeting Workbench FMBB screen with the notation the document is reversed.
ud
io
Tr
ia
Q: Ive input a wrong Funds Center (or Commitment Item, or Fund) and preposted
the document how do I correct this?
A: Since BCS does NOT allow any corrections to a document once it has entered
budget workflow, your most expedient option would be to reverse the document (or
have the next approver reject the document) and then create a new document by
reference, making the correction to the Funds Center (or Commitment Item, or
Fund) checking the new corrected replacement document and then preposting it into
your Business Area budget workflow.

PD
St
Q: I have been contacted by the next approver that I need to correct a code entry
on my preposted document before the next approver (AGCY 2 or Comptroller or GBO
or BFM) will approve (or post) the document how do I make the requested
correction?
A: The answer is very much the same as the previous question, as if you discovered
a mistake on your document that you needed to correct. Since BCS does NOT allow
any corrections or changes to a document once is has entered workflow; have the
approver requesting the change reject the document. Once rejected, you can then
create a new document by reference, making the requested correction; then check
the new document and prepost it into workflow.

APPENDIX H: SPECIAL NOTES FOR PENNDOT

The presentation and discussion of the FM (Budget) Available Balances Report (page
15) pertains to the vast majority of Business Areas under FM Area COPA. These have
Budgets that are appropriated at the Fund level. In former budgeting this was
known as budget structure -3L. The rollup of this type of budget was by
Appropriation (that is Fund, Funds Center Level 1 and Commitment Item Level 1). A
Funds Center at Level 1 corresponds to the Business Area or Fund (Appropriation).
ud
io
Tr
ia
Example:
de
sk
PD
St
Understanding this concept is essential to understand the two different types of

Budget Control (and conversely Budget roll-up) that is applicable to the Funds under
PennDOT. This also explains how and why the new FM (Budget) Available Balances
Report which does the same calculations for all Funds in BCS is going to display
report results that might look as if it is functioning very differently for PennDOT.

PennDOT Funds with this level of Budget Control signifies Budget appropriation (and

APPENDIX I: Special Notes for Approval and Post Roles

General System Rules:
1. Once a document is created and preposted NOTHING on a budget
document can be changed or corrected by anyone (i.e. the former
FR73 transaction functionality no longer exists in BCS). Budget
documents requiring changes to any field must be rejected and recreated (see Creating a Document by Reference APPENDIX C).
2. Document Date (posting date v. created date v. period date v.
any other noted date). Since these may all be set or manipulated
in BCS; the BI/BW posting date shall be the recognized document
date of record entry regardless of any date or period entry on
Budgeting Workbench FMBB document.
