BUGET AND ASSIGNED

[Former Member]

Dear all

Could you help me on this budget control issue?

I check the report S_ALR_87013558 - Budget/Actual/Commitment/Rem Plan/Assigned,

I find WBS actual total is 13,605, RemOrdPlan-Total is 70,660, the commitment is 0 and assinged-total is 84,265.

So I guess the assigned should be the total of actual, RemOrdPlan and the commitment.

Is that correct?

My second question is how could RemOrdPlan-Total not be in the assigned-total?

the total budget for this WBS is 85000. The budget control is active.

the budget is compared with the assigned-total to check if the budget is exceeded.

when i settle the production order, the budget is exceeded.

but actually the actual cost is only 13605.

could I do some config so that RemOrdPlan-Total is not in the assigned?

thanks a lot.

Hi Judy,

Your concept for Assigned value is correct as per your first question.

In case of budget control, budget is checked against assigned value.In your case, ramaining order value is 70660 which becomes the part of assigned value. This value ( remaining order) is coming because some project activities have been already release which has some plan value but no actual value has been posted till now.If you want to reduce remaining order value then you have following options

(1) Set the activity status TECO, settle the production order, then resume the activity status

(2) Reduce the activity planned hrs , do settlement then revert back.

I hope , your problem will resolve, let's wait for others opinion also.

I agree with Ashok,

Just do one more check go to CJ30 and check planned total colum values. I believe that values resembels to Remaing planned order should up to some extent resembles to planned total colum as well

Thanks for both of you.

the rem plan total is the planned value of the production order, not the planned value of the activies.

how can i exclude the planned value of the production order from the assigned values?

thanks a lot.

Thanks for sharing, For the excluding the planned value of the production order from the assigned values.

Please check your customisation relted to txn OPSV.

Uncheck the 'assigned fund in plan' indicator for the order category 10 and 4.

Hi Judy,

I think, changing the setting in OPSV, may not solve the problem because order is already released, I feel, setting the TECO status is the best solution but it may create some more problem because it will cancel all open PR & balance delivered quantity for PO. If you are sure about this that no purchasing is pending then GO AHEAD for this option.

2nd Option:

If possible, remove the WBS no from production order for time being.

Let us know , what you will be doing.
