Freeze budget data

Title
Freeze Budget Data

Purpose
This program takes a snapshot of the budget data and conserves it in another version (frozen version). You use this program to document the budget data of a version on a particular date.

You can make note of the date when the budget data was frozen using the short text name of the frozen version.

Prerequisites
You have to choose a version that is exclusively used as a BCS: Frozen Version. You can set this in the Customizing of FM in the IMG activity Edit Versions.

Features
All budget or released data of table FMBDT matching the selection criteria specified is read and copied to a frozen version.

Note that:

Any budget or released or statistical  data already existing for the given selection in the frozen version will be overwritten.
The program does not perform any checks on the validity or consistency of the copied budget data.
The resulting data in a frozen version cannot be changed afterwards with any other application.
You can either run the program as a test run or an update run. Background processing is also possible.

Selection
You have to specify the FM area, budget and / or release, the budget category, the fiscal year and the corresponding years of cash effectivity (if defined), as well as the source and target versions (frozen version).

The FM account assignments taken into account can be limited by using selection options.

Output
The program generates a detailed list with the results of the program run if the corresponding option was chosen. The detailed list contains the following information:

FM account assignment elements, such as the funds center or commitment item.
Workflow status
Year of cash effectivity (if defined)
Budgeting process
Budget type
If errors occur, an application log is generated and displayed.
