Dear Experts,

Actual Costs are Booked , PO Commitments are there.

When we try to enter the Budget, the system says Budget exceeded.But Budget is well within Limits.

When we Investigated , we found that The RemOrdPlan is causing the problem.

Can Anyone Help.

Regards,

Shareeq

RemOrderPlan is calculating from network activities and also from other assigned orders in the network.

Did not fully understand your query...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Budgeting is done only after actual costs are booked.

Pending PR is much lesser than the RemOrdPlan & Activity Cost is Zero.

We have to find a way to view all the data that makes up the RemOrdPlan ?

Any Help ?

Hello Shareeq,

Please note that Rem Ord Plan = Plan (apportioned or appended) - Actual - Commitment

The postings from Actuals, commitments and RemOrdPlan are contributed to assigned value. Your stated formula is correct. I think you need to exclude the remaining order plan from availability check. This will go against the standard SAP system. If you really want this behaviour, you should apply the SAP note 853530. This note will helpful to exclude remaining order plan from

the calculation of the assigned value in genaral for availability control and/or PS reporting.

Hi,

Use CJEN and then CJBN and try again. It seems there is some negative budget under Available Budget column of S-ALR-87013558 report. it is perhaps causing the error.

Hi Ahmad,

Please check your Pending PR on WBS, that may show in your Remainder order plan.

Hi Ahmed,

This is std. behavior of the system. As there is -ve available budget so you hav to nullify that -ve amount against each wbs to either 0 or greater than 0(by increasing the budget against each wbs).

Then only system will allow you to proceed.

Hi Ahmed,

Please check you calculations for Avaialble Budget as below,

Available Budget = Budget - (Actual + Commitment + RemOrdPlan)

If this value is equal to that is reflecting in Available Budget , then it s Right even if it is Negative.

And represents that there is no Budget available and hence gives error.

You can supplement the Budget.

Thanks,

Hi Nitin,

" Available Budget = Budget - (Actual + Commitment + RemOrdPlan)"

Thanks for your reply.

Budgeting is done only after actual costs are booked.

We know that sufficient budget will solve the problem.

Pending PR is much lesser than the RemOrdPlan & Activity Cost is Zero.

We have to find a way to view all the data that makes up the RemOrdPlan ?
