HI Vishal,

As far as I remember, there is a flag names 'calculation relevant' in the purchase requisistion. You can untick and then it is not taken into account for costs calculation (commitment).

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I am unable to find the same in Purchsase requisition.

Can the same be done through config.

You do not need to assign a CO object to a purchase requisition row. If you do not do so, then the commitment is not displayed in CO.

That means in the account assignment tab of purchase requisition,if you don't enter wbs or networkactivity,the commitment for the project will be zero.

Hope this helps,

Hi Vishal,

I double check it again. The flag is availble in the Tab 'Purch Data' in CN22, if this purchase requisition is triggered by the network. But as far as I tested, the flag 'CostRel' doesnot have the effect, which I said before. Sorry for the incorrect info.

Kind regards,

Zhenbo

deactivate commitment management from CO module for PS

[Former Member]

Go to settings for Availability control in SPRO=> PS=>Cost=>Budget=>Specify tolerance limits and remove 'Purchase Requisition' from the Availability group. By default it is ++ that is all transaction types are selected.

This way your PR commitment will go out of budget avaliability control.

However it will keep updating in table and will appear in reports unless you filter out based on value type (=21) in reports for commitment.

Second , not able to find Purchase requistion in Commitment management , so that i could deactive the same.

Need your suggestion.

As suggested by Virendra,

you can deactivate the commitment menagment in OKKP txn ( Maintain Controlling area ) --> slect your CoAr --> (Double click ) Activate component /control indicator --> Commitmment management --> select drop down componenet not active.

Make not that by doing this your are going to make inactive commitment management to entire controlling area. with referenct ot PS. i.e. all the project belongs to that controllling area.

The SPRO node for the same is PS-->Cost --> Activate Project Management in Controlling Area.

Please refer this post.

Hi Vishal,

As pasted below, apart from ++ there are various transaction groups available to choose from. ++ is nothing but convinient way of choosing all in one shot as a group. If you want to exclude PR commitment then seperately choose each transaction group excluding ++ & 00

Tr.Grp Short Descript.

++ All activity groups

00 Purchase requisition

01 Purchase order

02 Orders for project

03 Goods issue

04 Financial accounting docum

05 CO document

06 Budgeting

07 Funds reservation

08 Fixed prices in project

09 Payroll

This will incerase your config activity to the extent that for each budget profile and action pair, you'll have to create 9 lines (after excluding ++ & 00) instead of earlier one with ++ only. But this will give you the result that you want.

Additionally, if you are changing this settings when some PR commitment already exists then after changing it would be good to run program RKANBU01, followed by T-codes CJEN & then CJBN.

Ravi

Dear Ravi

Thanks for your input.

I have configured the budget profile as suggested by you. However, PR is still generating commitment for new as well as old projects. What can be the reason?

Can you provide some solution.

Thanks and best regards

How did you finally solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi, you can just set G/L account as blank in PR, so without cost element PR don't generate co document-commitment.
