• Key Concepts: 
  Partial commitment is a feature of the Facilities Management component of SAP that allows users to commit to a certain amount of a purchase order, while leaving the remaining amount open for future commitments. This feature is useful for managing budget constraints and ensuring that only the necessary amount of funds are committed at any given time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use partial commitment, users must first create a purchase order in the system. Once the purchase order is created, users can select the “Partial Commitment” option from the menu. This will allow them to specify the amount of funds they wish to commit to the purchase order. The remaining amount will be left open for future commitments. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using partial commitment, it is important to keep track of the total amount of funds committed and ensure that it does not exceed the budget constraints. Additionally, users should be aware that partial commitments are not automatically reversed when a purchase order is cancelled or modified.
