WBS budget reduction at the time of PO creation

[Former Member]

Hi,

1. When a PO is created against a WBS element, at this point is there any budget check? If so is it against RELEASED budget or TOTAL BUDGET.

2. If at the time of PO creation the budget check is against TOTAL, does the system check at the time of invoice posting against RELEASED?

I have the following scenario in PRODUCTION.

WBS TOTAL budget - 200,000

WBS RELEASED budget - 100,000

System is allowing to post POs and INVOICES fro Rs.180,000 (more than RELEASED). WBS availability check is active.

Any idea why system is allowing to post both PO and INVOICES more than released??

Hi,

Please check the Budget Profile in OPS9 transaction.

It seems in Availablity Control section, Release indicator is not ticked.

Please see the SAP help for the same.

Regards,

Amit

Hi,

The budget is checked against the assigned values.

The assigned value for projects is calculated from:

1. Actual costs on the budget carrying WBS element

2. Statistical actual costs on the budget carrying WBS element

3. Actual costs from lower-level WBS elements, if these do not have any budget

4. Statistical actual costs from lower-level WBS elements, if these do not have any budget

5. Commitments on the budget carrying WBS element

6. Commitments from lower-level WBS elements, if these do not have any budget.

7. Maximum from plan and actual costs + commitments from assigned networks or orders

To know more about the assigned values: Go to CJ30 enter in the budget distribution screen then Extras->Availability control>analysis.

Also check the transaction group in tolerence limit in SPRO
