Error Message : Budget exceeded for WBS(BP604)

[Former Member]

Hi

Im getting a message when im trying to post a commitment to a WBS through PO.

Originally for the WBS element USD-110107117 I pushed down $15K and yesterday I was told to push down another $40k. Bringing the total to $55K.

Today I'm trying to cut a PO (73910) for an amount over $15k and it says that the budget exceeds. But if I cut it below or equal to $15k it works.

But if you check the Budget it's right there are $55k.

Can you please help me why still im getting this message.

Your advice is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Hello Megha,

Execute the report "S_ALR_87013558 - Budget/Actual/Commitment/Rem Plan/Assigned " & check what is the available budget. This should help you.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

The budget available is 0. This 55000$ is assigned to the top level WBS USD-110107117.

I tried distributing this to lower level by using CJ32 but still it doesnt work.

Any suggestions.

Thanks and Regards

Dear Megha,

"Budget distribution" or "Budget Allocation to lower level WBSEs" both are CJ30 only.

CJ32 is to release some part of the budget against a WBSE, which is primarily allocated in CJ30 only.

go to CJ30 & enter your required budget for the WBSE.

Dear Megha,

Budget distribution should be done from the CJ30. CJ32 is for release.

Hi

Thanks for this.

Another question is that this 55000$ is allocated at level 2 WBS USD-110107117. In this assigned amount is 15000$.

Project is USD-110100000

The WBS element which im assigning in the PO is at level 4 USD-110107117-B-5656-03 which of now has 0 value.

So how do i bring down this value of 55K to this level USD-110107117-B-5656-03 .

Also if i give any amount less that 15000$ it is taking.

This sounds strange.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thannks and Regards

System is behaving normally. You need to understand the bsics. If you ask specific questions, then it can be answered.

I suggest you to first study/ get yourself trainned on costing & budgeting in SAP PS.
