Hi,

Go to transaction OPSV, check the checkbox in column Addl. for category 30 (maintainable order).

I have found another solution

hi

check whether you already consumed the allocated budget in the report S_ALR_*558.

in the commitment items column vs allocated budget.

Dear AP,

below are my projects value which i don't think they have an issue:

Lead column Budget Actual Commitment RemOrdPlan Assigned Available

Overall values 10,722 8,527 0 0 8,527 2,195

please confirm.

Hi,

Are the values in Commtiment and Actual column same i.e 8527.

if yes then commitment should remove from and should be visible on in Actual Column.(Incorrect Commitments)

For Removing commitment , run TCode CJEN and check. If not working then,

Run report RKANBU01 from SE38. This clears incorrect commitments.

Dear Nitin,

the Actual value is 8,572 but the commitment value is 0 so no similarity between them.

Thanks

hi,

You mentioned the error is appearing when you added new material and tried to save. Please check the cost of this new materail (times quatity to get total cost) and see by addidng it whether you are going beyound the budget. Most likely this will be the case. If yes make corresponding change in material cost or increase the budget.

Regards
