Change documents provide a complete history of the changes made to budget values.

The Customer Office of Programm Planning, Budgeting and Accounts (OPPBA) agreed to one continuous number range. There is an outstanding consideration to have an external range for Customer Budget Informaiton System (BIS) appropriations and allotment advices to be transferred to Solution via an interface and possibly a second external range to support conversion.

Rationale for configuration and configuration changeIn this IMG activity, you define the number range interval to assign document family numbers. Several budget entry documents are grouped togetherder one document family which is created at the same time in a mass activity. This will be used in the Customer implementation to support mass upload of allotments at the beginning of a budget period.The document family number references all the budget entry documents generated at the same time in a mass rCustomerand makes drilldown reporting and further processing easier (such as a mass reversal with the program Reverse documents). In this way, an entry document also gets a document family number as well as the individual budget entry-document number. The respective document family is displayed in the budgeting workbench in the header data of a budget entry document. For entry documents without a family document, the Document Family field in the budgeting workbench is hidden.

In this IMG activity, you define the logic on how the account assignments of the availability control ledger ( availability control object) should derive the budget addresses and posting addresses.The derivation strategy that you define in this IMG activity controls the assignment of the control object to one or more budget addresses. For a budget posting, the corresponding control object is determined on the basis of this derivation strategy. Budget postings are updated in the AVC in a single step. In comparison, actual/commitment postings are updated in two steps in the AVC, using two consecutive derivation strategies. First the corresponding budget address is determined from the posting address - this occurs with the derivation strategy of the budget structure (IMG activity Define Derivation Strategy for Budget Addresses). The control object is then derived from the respective budget address in the same way as the budget posting.
