How to delete allocated Budget

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need your assistance.

My client has created a project and allocated budget manually and released (in billions). Actual cost is posted for some WBS elements and commitments are also there for some WBS elements (in thousands). Due to drawing changes, budget allocated to these WBS elements is not valid and management wants to delete this budget. Rest of the project (WBS Elements) will continue.

How to go about this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Murthy.

Hi Abdul,

please help

thanks

Hi Sunil,

I am not sure but try to transfer the actual cost from lower wbs elements to other WBS elements/other cost objects and then re post them back to level 1 wbs element then check if system is allowing you to remove budget from lower level wbs elements and reset OPSX. I think if commitments and actual are removed from WBS then it can be possible to reset the BUDG status of wbs. Though I am not sure of it but I would suggest you to check it once if it is possible and let us know if it works to some extent.

you can return the budget by using following transaction codes.

CJ38 - In Project

CJ35 - From Project

only available budget can be return from the respective wbse's. so here you can return unwanted budget from the project.

Thank you Sandeep.

I tried these transactions CJ34, CJ35, CJ38 and then posted this thread.

I tried CJ35 - Got error Annual budget negative

I tried CJ38 - got error overall budget less than distributed budet; overall budget less than overall release.

Hi,

If you are using IM then try budget changes using IM52.

Hi Murthy,

Since you are using Budget Releases, You will have to first reduce the Released budget in CJ32. Then only you will be able to reduce the Budget. ( If Annual/Overall Budget is less than the Released Budget, then obviosly the system will thow an error ).

Hope this helps,

Hi Kalpesh,

Thank you for your response. Mr. Srinivas also advised the same solution.

I could not do it as my core team member is busy in some other assignment.
