Cost Center Budget Controlling

[former_member424251]

Dear All,

In the current process, we are uploading monthly Cost Center Budget with the combination of Cost Center & Cost Element.

Now, the client requirement is to have a budget control on this.  That means, whenever a budget for any cost center is exceeding, system should give a message.

In the SAP Note No. 68366, SAP suggested to create a statistical Job Order for Cost Center - upload a Cost Center budget to that Job Order - Create substitution rule that when any posting is made to the Cost Center, the value should get updated to a Job Order.  Thus, when the budget will exceed, system will check the control at Order level & flash a message.

Here, I am finiding the following issues -

1) In job order I cannot give monthly budget.  It accepts only yearly budget.

2) Also, it does not provide the budget for the cobination of Cost Center + Cost Element.

Does anybody have come with this kind of requirement?

Is there any other work-around or do we need to go for Z development only?

Thanks in advance.

HI,

you can do the same by activiting funds management. if you are exceeding budget you can configure a warning or error message.

IMG → Controlling → Internal Orders → Budgeting and Availability Control → Define Tolerance Limits for Availability Control

Enter the budget manager for order type.

IMG → Controlling → Internal Orders → Budgeting and Availability Control → Maintain Budget Manager

If the budget is exceeded the budget manager will receive an e-mail in SAP inbox:

SAP Easy Access menu → Office → Workplace → Inbox

Hi Reshma,

As you know budget is not possible at cost center level directly. You have to go with work around.

Pls go through the below threads explain the same on your issue.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.  However, I have already been through these threads & gave a thought about Job Order.  the problem is, these threads do not say anything about the issues I have mentioned in my original question.  I would like to have more answers on those issues.

Thanks & Regards,
