Exclude statistical Orders in budget control (availability check) in CJ31

[former_member338130]

Hello Guru,

We are faced with a serious issue regarding budget control.

In our system, the statistical order are used together with WBS element to track all the costs related to asset construction.

The statistical orders are for reporting use only and derivate the WBS as real cost objects.

This works fine for settelment as the cost are only posted to WBS but not to orders.

However, from the point of view of budget control, the system calculates assigned value with both 2 objects.

Exemple, if a project has a distributable budget of 100K, the system rejects a PO of 70K assigned to the stat. order /WBS, because the assigned value takes into account the statistical order and is calculated twice 70K (70k x 2 = 140 K so budget overrun ! ).

Shall you have any clue to solve this issue please help !

Is there anyway to exlude the statistical order from the assigned value ?

Or shall we set a budget profile for the orders ?

Hi,

In this case, the order receives a statistical posting.

Here the system does a regular availability control check.

Statistical postings are posted to table COEP with value type 11 - such postings contribute to the

assigned value of the order by design (as per note #178837).

Therefore, in this case, you may need to give extra budget to the statistical internal order.

Hi,

Please check the Assigned value before creating any PR's or PO's.

If yes, check the Rem.Order values in report S_ALR_87013533.
