Budget Check problem in IO

[former_member565124]

Hello Experts,

W have internal orders in our system that is currently setup to perform budget check. Availability Control is activated and an error message is issued once posted amount exceeds available budget. This works fine if budget is already allocated in KO22. However, for initially created IOs without budget allocation, the budget check is not working. I think because availability control is activated only once budget is allocated. By right, the system should issue an error since there's no budget (budget = 0) for that IO yet. Is there a way to perform budget check if budget allocation in KO22 has not yet been performed? I've searched over the internet but did not find any answers.

Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Jack

Hi Jack

Since you are new to SCN, may I please request you to close your threads, once they are resolved.. You can close them by marking the relevant answer as "Correct Answer", etc... This helps others to know the solution in Future

For your issue, you have 3 Options (As detailed in note 602588)

1. Enter Dummy Budget of 1$ in KO22. SAVE it and Remove it

2. Implement user exit

3. Use a User Status Profile

Hi

The budget profile controls the availability check. So if you create an IO and have no budget allocated & you have activation type as 0 in budget profile, you should get an error that no budget is allocated for the IO. Once you have budget allocated, there is a check of actual amount against the budget available and if actual is more than budget, there is an error if actual is more than budgeted amount.

So why do you need to have availability check on IO creation itself, if I get your question correctly?
