Test budget tolerence limit

[Former Member]

SAP Gurus,

How can I test the budget tolerance configuration that I have done for project?  I have created budget profile and tolerance limit and assigned budget profile to the project.  I have created budget for L1 WBS (CJ30), Released the budget (CJ32). The Availability control is active (CJBV).

When time is entered for project WBS, the tolerance limit needs to be check before time is approved.  Can someone help me with this?

Thanks

Thanks all.  Testing was successful.  I had to transfer the cost (CATA) to the project in order to trigger the budget availability control.

Hi Shirley,

I am afraid the standard system will not do that.  Time is not transferred before it is approved, and the budget control will not trigger before the transfer.

Also the purpose of CATS is to reflect the reality or the facts and so it does.  If someone worked 10 hours you cannot record just 1 for example.  It is not the CATS issue, but the budget issue.

Regards,

Paulo

Hi Shirley.

I assume that your tolerance limit settings is for all Target groups.

You can check it by simply creating a PR/PO or doing a FI posting against the WBS for the amount which is more than your budget and system should give you an error message..  Same holds good for time transfer using CATA or CAT5/CAT7.

Are you not getting any errors for budget exceed?

Hi Shirley,

please test by creating PR/PO/posting any actuals for WBS where budget is allocated.

if you are posting timesheet tolerance limit should trigger while timesheet posting.

please check below document on budget and tolerance limit:

thanks
