Incorrect BUDG System status

[Former Member]

It is requested to share your expert suggestions in the problem as below.

Scenario:

Project structure

WBSA u2013 Level 1

WBSA1 u2013 Level 2

WBSA11 u2013 Level 3 (Account Assigned with Inv Profile)

Network Hdr (assigned to WBSA11)

Network Internal Activity (assigned to WBSA11)

Material Comp. (assigned to NWA)

Budgeting happens through IM

A) After project creation, User follows the following process u2013

1. Assigns WBSA1 to position ID of Inv Prog

2. Goes to IM52, assigns budget to WBSA1

3. CJBN

4. Release the Project in CJ20N.

B) After doing the above process till step 3 above, the user realizes that the position ID was assigned to a wrong WBS. So

1. She goes to IM52, returns the budget assigned in step 2

2. Goes to CJ20N, deletes the assignment of Position ID of WBSA1.

3. Assigns Position ID to WBSA instead.

4. Goes to IM52, assigns budget to WBSA.

5. CJBN

6. Releases the Budget.

Now, because of Steps A1 to A3, the Project has the System status of WBSA1 as REL BUDG AVAC with a Zero Budget (step B1) and System status of WBSA as REL BUDG AVAC with Budget (Say 1XXX) because of Steps B3 to B6.

The problem begins when a purchase requisition is being created for a Material Comp. While saving, project Availability Control looks at WBSA1 as it has the BUDG status, finds there is no budget and throws an error of budget exceeded for WBSA1 due to NWA. As I understand, if the BUDG status did not exist for WBSA1, it would have looked for budget in WBSA and there would have been no error.

I have tried OPSX for the WBSA1 to get rid of the BUDG status. However, the status is not being reset, probably because it has been budgeted through Investment Management. And, therefore we are not able to create PRs or any other transactions leading to assigned fund on the Activities.

Expert comments requested.

use OPSX to reset BUDG on WBSA1

[Former Member]

Hello Viren,

Thanks for your reply.

I have already tried OPSX, but the system status BUDG remains. Is this happening because budget has been assigned through IM?

have you tried OPSX after step B2?

[Former Member]

Unfortunately, in the present scenario, the Project has already gone through steps B1 to B6 and is lying in released status before the issue has come to me.

One way of dealing with this would be to MDLK the WBS and create another in its place.

However, I was considering the option of undoing the BUDG status at first.

Any other suggestions? Please.

so why can you not repeat it

deactivatate AVAC

return budget from WBS to IM program

remove IM assignment

remove budget from WBS

reset BUDG

reassign IM assignment

distribute budget from IM

activate AVAC

I have tried the above as mentioned by you, but am not able to undo the BUDG system status nor post entries.

Any other suggestions?

Just a thought.....Have you deselected "Test Run" when you do OPSX....because sometimes we may forget to do that...

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I agree when you say we sometimes forget to uncheck the testrun. But not in this particular case.

In the scenario that I am, any suggestions you can offer?

Thanks.
