How to avoid wrong budget values on S_ALR_87013558 report?

[Former Member]

Hi experts.

In the budget drilldown report S-ALR_87013558, the budget column is displaying values that do not match budget profile exchance rates, as well as other rates defined in "currency" button. Other column show expected values according to exchange rates. In some cases, available budget column shows negative values as commitment seems to be higher tha budget, due to this distortion. Does anyone know how to explain this. I search for a SAP note for this, but I coudn´t find any related.

Thanks!

Hi Rafael,

Please check in OBYC Currency table the data when you have entered Budget.

Check the date when you created PO and same you can check in OBYC Currency table. Match both ?

If you are updating the Exchange rate on day to day basis then the value what you are getting is based on the date.

Because if you have Budgeted 3 months back it will record the currency rate of that date in OBYC and when if you made PO with current date it will update today's date value in OBYC.

OB08 Maintain the exchange rate as per the day or period. Please do check this also.

There could one more possibilities the moment when you create PO you can check whether Exchange rate is entered manually or not if enter manually then this could also be one reason.

Finally If the Currency rate is maintain constant then it will pick the same if you don't follow the constant then it will pick the date currency.

Hi,

There are three types of currencies used 1) Controlling Area Currency 2) Object Currency and 3) Transaction Currency.

Please check which currency you are using in your case.

Coming to your second point where commitment seems to be higher than budget ?

Please check if you have assigned any PO before budget and what is the tolerance limit of your budget.

Budget profile will define the usage and restricts the limit of usage and the exchange rate will be depends on the currency which you have maintained.

Hi Syed.

Budget was assigned properly, and there´s no PO related to networks. In fact, networks were not even released yet.

In S_ALR_87013558 report, budget values are displayed in controlling area currency, while commitment values are displayed in object currency. That´s why values displayed for available budget makes no sense.

obs: converting the report according to PS exchange rates doesn´t work, once the exchange rate is applied for both budget and commitment values, keeping the distortion in available budget calculus.
