Settlement error repeats

[former_member299514]

During CJ8G one settlement error gets repeated with error msg EBP603 as follows:

Item 001 WBS element W.00000010.001 budget exceeded

Sender: ORD 540000008932

Item 001 WBS element W.00000010.001 budget exceeded

Sender: WBS U.80026507

Item 001 WBS element W.00000010.001 budget exceeded

Sender: WBS U.80010284

We find the same WBS in all the lines. What can cause this same line to reappear again in all lines.

Hi Suman,

I guess this is due to different sender is different.

If you have a single sender, then it will display only one message.

Hallo Maria,

the issue is that the error messages does not seem to have any reason at all,

an example would be

		Sender: WBS CPX.000XXXXX-F1
E	BP604	Item 001 WBS element C14.XXXXX-F2 budget exceeded
E	BP604	Item 003 WBS element C14.XXXXX-F2 budget exceeded

However CPX.000XXXXX-F1 is in no way related to the receiver C14.XXXXX-F2, it is not in the same structure, it has a settlement rule to an AUC and since it does not have any other errors it is expected that settlement would take place.

Hi Suman / Jacob,

There are couple notes available in SAP. Please find below, check and let us know whether this resolves your issue.

1742941 - Unjustified error messages for availability control

1606591 - Unjustified error messages when entering budgets or releases

1464000 - Unjustified error messages of availability control

In case if the above does not solve or not related to your SAP version, you need to raise a OSS note to SAP to resolution.

Good Morning Suman,

have you had any joy resolving this as we are having the exact same issue.

During execution of settlement run in background whenever the message BP604 is correctly raised even once this message is repeated over and over again for a single WBS element.  This occurs even though the WBS element is only maintained as a settlement receiver once.

Go though any of structure report as cns41 as well and select the fields for budgeting and actual cost and plan cost.

do comparison as below:

Plan Vs Actual

Budget Vs Actual

Report will show if budget exceeded? make adjustment then execute settlement.

Hi

Understand your suggestions but my querry is why this error gets repeated for the same WBS in all error lines. This is in almost 50 lines and whatever may be the sender object of the cost the error always shows for the same WBS. Since this a standard program do we still need to look deep into the code?

[sanjeevc]

Now you are saying this is standard code then may be some Consistency but i guess local ABAP couldnot be help on it, so please raise the OSS to SAP.

Hi Suman,

In project hierarchy lower level wbs elements and activities are settled to the respective higher level WBS element. In standard when we execute collective processing of settlement, system considers all the cost objects in the hierarchy which have settlement rule and does the settlement to receiver. In your case the wbs W.00000010.001 is reciver for many lower level objects.that's why same wbs is showing multiple times in the error message with different senders.

Check the budget exceeded issue on the WBS element W.00000010.001 as suggested by Tushar and Sanjeev.

In my case the sender objects are from different projects.

Hi Suman,

In settlement rules receiver are maintained as Wbs W.00000010.001 for many cost objects, though senders are from different projects. resolve the budget issue and execute the settlement you don't find the multiple error lines on the receiver wbs element.

Hello Suman,

Go to Budget report S_ALR_87013558 for WBS element W.00000010.001 and check how much is the available amount against Budget.

Check Actual cost and open commitment for this WBS element.

You can check list of open commitment from CJI5 report as well.

Tushar
