Budgets by Month in Project System.

[Former Member]

Is there a way to do budgets by month in PS? If yes, please let me know. Also can you plan by month on a WBS without using cost elements? Like in CJ40?

Thanks in advance for your help.

No.you cannot do month wise Budgeting like we do in CJ40 planning.

but after budgeting you can go in Transaction CJI8 and see the budget values for a particular date.

hi,

i believe answer is no, you can't plan by period similar to CJ40. (but if later you discover how, please tell me).

however, a workaround is to use CJR2.

you can create a planning form with 12-month layout in columns so its easy to plan by period for each WBS.

you still need cost element but you may create/use just a single cost element for this purpose only.

the important thing is you have a means of easily planning per period (by column) -unlike the default CJR2 form where in you have to constantly change screens.

for a guide on creating planning form with period layout see this blog by Mr. Sreenivas Kadiam
