Budgets Reset For Order To Order Settlements

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have budget set for a Plant Maintenance Order. When I settle the activities (Goods Receipts) on for the PM Work Order to an Internal Order the budget is reset which allows the user to apply more commitments to the PM Order. Therefore the settlement allows the budget to be exceeded. How do I prevent the settlement from allowing the budget to be overspent?

Hi ,

I am not sure about budget reset : If you are controlling PM budgeting thru internal orders then check config under :

SPRO--->Controlling ->Internal Orders->Budget and Availability Control --->Define Tolerance Limit for Availibility Control

Here you can define usage or Abs.Variance values as per your requirement .If you are making any config changes here ensure no posting are done at that time ..

I am aware of the tolerance configuration but this is not the problem. More clearly, when performing a settlement from one order to another order the activities are removed (debited) from the sending order and posted (credited) to the recieving order. After a settlement the Budget can once more be consumed for the debited amount.
