Check the Availability control tolerence limits settings (Tr. group settings) for your budget profile.

Hi ,

In my project AVAC activated and the Tr.Group is ++ ,I think it's related to procurement type.

As mentioned before the system is behaving normally. Try creating a material component of category L with procurement type PR + Reservation on WBS, and see if you are able to display the commitment from the PR in any PS standard report. Materials procured for project stock are done on special g/l accounts as configured by the MM team (this can be altered to be posted on WBS as well). The cost is not charged to the project per se. It is only charged when the goods are issued from the project stock to the project (project stock credit and project debit). This is why no commitment check occurs at the PR stage. You need to search more on this to determine how project stock functionality works.

Budget check has nothing to do with Procurement type.

In all your different scenarios, check the cost elements which are getting updated.

1) Check whether cost elements are maintained for GL accounts against which material planned, PR generated.

2) Check whether you have defined any exemption for any such cost elements?

Dear R.B. Rao,

The system is behaving normally. You should search the forum, SAP Help and Google on the different procurement types available. This will help you understand the purpose of the procurement types and why the budget isn't being checked. You may come here with more specific questions once you have browsed the information available.
