SAP PS budget against PO commitment

[former_member282774]

Hi,

We have created PO with 2000$ against the WBS element but GR is done for 1000$ which is an Actual cost against that particular WBS element. As per Standard SAP, the remaining committed value (1000$) would still be as Assigned budget. Will the system remove the commitment for the remaining balance and make the budget available for other use? Or will the remaining balance remain as committed funds for that particular PO.

My understanding is that, the remaining committed value can be made as Available budget by deactivating AVAC and run CJEN and CJBN and use it for another PO.

Are there any other alternatives rather than deactivating AVAC? Please advice.

Hi Srini,

You have two flags on PO, something like final invoice and full delivery - do not remember exactly the wording.  One of them will cancel remaining commitment.

Your answer is right, I was with the same situation, after set the final invoice indicator on PO the commitment value became avaliable.

Thanks. God bless you.

Hi Srini,

once PO is reduced the budget it will not reverse until we do line item delete and do above suggested.

AVAC deactivation will make to system as inactive wrt budget functionality which is not advisable.

Hi,

maintaining "delivery complete" would certainly reduce the commitment to zero, but does not add up to budget.

Hi Srini,

If you deactivate AVAC, it will allow you to post additional commitment, but this will not remove the remaining commitment from PO.

When you set the Final Invoice Indicator, Purchase Order Commitments are reset, but still i doubt whether this removes the commitment and send to budget.

Try to do the scenario in your system.
