Introduction
The Funds Management (FM) derivation tool replaces existing SAP functionality for deriving FM account assignments. This new
tool is significantly more powerful and flexible for controlling the derivation of Funds Management objects. For data to be recorded
in Funds Management, a complete FM account assignment (commitment item, fund, fund center) is required when postings are
entered in other modules
Starting in SAP version 4.6 and onward the FRC* transactions used to derive Funds
(i.e. FI, SD, MM).
Management master data are replaced with the FM Derivation Tool

assignments.
9. Transport. Transports derivation
strategies.
10. User Defined. Identifies the
user-defined steps in the strategy.
11. Active. Identifies the active
(green) or inactive (red) steps in the
strategy. Inactive steps are not
processed.
12. Modifiable. Identifies the steps
that are modifiable.
13. Maintain Entries. Indicates
there is an associated derivation
table to the step and is
maintainable.
14. Step Type. Indicates the type
derivation rule. There are six types:
Derivation rule, Table lookup, Move,
Clear, Enhancement and Function
call. (See below)
15. Condition. Identifies steps that
contain pre-conditions that must be
meant before the step it is carried
out.
16. Description. Short description
that describes the purpose of the
step.

Function call (SAP pre-defined) this step type uses standard SAP
functions to derive FM assignments. (e.g. commitment item from
GL account. To view the standard delivered function calls use t-code
FMRULES. Currently there are 22 SAP delivered functions calls that
include items like; Commitment item or functional
area from General ledger account among others.

Enhancement this step type derives the FM
assignment based on a separate user exit. For
example, an enhancement can be used to copy cost
center to fund center, without maintaining a separate
mapping table. This is very flexible step type, but it does require
additional ABAP coding.
Neither SPL Sets nor data
element groups are available for use
in derivation strategies which limits
NOTE: Derivation steps are only carried out when: a) the active flag is set, b) source
some of their flexibility
fields are not blank (configurable) and c) conditions are met (see over for details)
