Restrict to create PO with reference to PR not assigned budget

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm MM consultant and we don't have FM specialist at present so I'd like to ask maybe stupid question:

We have FM Budgeting on Purchase requisiton stage. When MRP creates PR's they are not in budget. Using these PR's the system allows to create PO's, RFQ, Contracts.

The question is: could I restrict this using standard setups or ABAP only ?

Hi Timur Khamidov ,

While creation of PR ,does users are keying commitment item and fund center?I think no.It means budget availability control is not activated for PR Creation level.

Please put the budget validation at the time of PR Creation itself.

Any way system check the budget at the time of PO Creation , but not against particular PR.

For Ex : you have created PR without budget. when you try to create PO then system check budget and consumes to extent of PO.

Where PR not assigned budget will not be directly controlled. we need to pur validation.

Hi,

Please, look at this thread .

Basically, your MRP PRs should be also eligible to budget control. Otherwise, what's the point of budget check at all?

Thanx I've already use this (T-Code FM_MRP_PR), but it's optional: if only users run FM_MRP_PR PR's will be in budget. But if they don't run it then it's possible to create Pur docs anyway - and this is issue because PR's are not in budget...

Hi Timur,

If I have understood correctly:

You create PR's from MRP and do not consume budget (i.e. you do not want to run FM_MRP_PR)

it is possible to create PO's referencing those PR's. In those cases, you would not want those PO's consuming budget either. Is my understanding correct? In such case, you could update those PO's statistically in FM.

If you are in this case, let us know so that we can let you know more details.

If what you actually want to achieve is to prevent those PO's from being created, maybe MM could have a better thought (you may use the MM Forum for that purpose):

Hi,

Will that be okay for you client if the system is configured to check budget at BOTH PR and PO stage? That way, there will be no impact for PO's that refer to budgeted PR's; but for PO's that refer to non-budgeted PR's AVC will check the budget.

Thanks all for discussion.

The budgeting BP will be next: budget control is on PR and PO stages. So all MRP PR's have to be assigned to budget. If PR is not in budget it will be impossible to create Pur Docs (PO's and others). The Last is what I was asking. There is only one approach (in MM forum told the same) - ABAP

Standard is standard - live's going on

Thank you all again!

Hi Timur,

Thanks for sharing...

You may implement some kind of validation by using an MM user-exit.

At the time of saving the PO, validation could be something like:

if EBAN-ESTKZ indicates that my PR is an MRP one....

"select from FMIOI where REFBN = 'MY PR"

if you find your PR number in table FMIOI, it means that it was sent to FM from FM_MRP_PR and therefore reflected in Funds Management

In such case, the PO can be saved. Otherwise -> Error

Kind regards

Mar
