Problem's in data transfer to target components in SAP PS - CATS

[former_member223190]

Hi all

I am trying to transfer data from CATS to PS and CO for month end closing .

I have checked the budget in planned/actual/assigned report, and the

WBS has sufficient budget.

T-code used is CATA, and we are using a varient, and while transfering the data

we are mentioning the cost center instead of employee number.

The following message is displayed which is show in the attachement.

Can  any body please let me know solution for this.

What is difference between "Budget exceeded" and "Budget almost exhausted" ?

How to check the error in the document ?

"What is difference between "Budget exceeded" and "Budget almost exhausted" ?"

The tolerance limits have been configured in such a way that when the budget reaches a certain percentage system will pop errors as you are seeing. For e.g. In your case the system might be issuing the message "Budget Exceeded" when 100% of the defined budget is reached. Similarly, system is issuing  the message "Budget almost exhausted" when 90% of the defined budget is reached. Budget almost exhausted message will still allow you to go ahead with the transfer provided you first correct the error in the document.

"How to check the error in the document ?"

Try to double click on the error message. That should take you to the details of the error.

Why are you using the cost center instead of the Personnel number in order to transfer the hours? General practice is to use the personnel number.

Check tcodes CN30,  COFC and see if you can get to the details of the error.

Hi Gokul

I have found the solution.

There was no distrubutable budget in the top level WBS, as it was totally given to the sub-ordinate WBS element. One of the user have booked his time sheet to the top level WBS and the

error message was triggered. There were two options for this

1. Transfer the budget to top level WBS

2. Modify the time sheet.

My cleint was ok with the 2 option.

Can you please let me know how these t-codes CN30, COFC work ?

Thanks & Regards
