Budget availability check: Partial releases

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I have configured budget availability check with Overall+Released.

For the project, i have planned costs using network activities (Commitments are not created yet)

These costs are updated as planned costs and assingned costs in budget overview.

1) I am unable to maintain budget less than 100% (because of assigned costs)

2) I am unable to release for lesser amounts (It is too because of assigned costs)

This way, i am unable to use the functionalties of REVALUATION and PARTIAL RELEASE.

Please suggest possible solution to make use these functions.

warm regards

Goto OPUV, uncheck the assigned value box for order category 20. This will make network planned cost not to be included in assigned value when the system status is CRTD, but once you release the project, the network planned cost will be included in assigned value irrespective of this setting.

Thank You Ahmed

It seems typo error. Is it OPSV?

Is there any loss of benefit due to uncheck of this field. I mean any implication in other functionalities?

yeah..It is OPSV. To my knowledge it affects two area:-

1. The network planned cost will not rise the assigned value of the WBSE.

2. The budget check will not happen to those cost(network planned cost).

But this happens only till the project is in CRTD status.
