Block postings to cost centers that have exceeded budget

Hello

How to block postings to cost centers that have exceeded budget?

How can you make this assessment? Monthly, yearly or both?

Thanks!!

Hi,

The budget in cost centres does not have availability control. You can use a workaround with internal oders. Please, search SDN for this info. No monthly control is possible in standard configuration with this option.

If you choose to implement FM, then budget control flexibility there is quite powerful and you can build whatever logic you want. Just make notice, that the budget won't be managed in cost centres, but in FM objects (fund centres, commitment items, etc.)

Thanks a lot, Eli.

After IO configuration that your suggest, how does it works to user? Does anything change to him? I mean, today he only fill cust center. After this, he must fill Cust Center and Internal Order togheter?

Thank you!

Not at all. As it's statistical I/O, you can define in the master data of the order the relevant cost centre for the true postings. So, when user enters I/O, cost centre will come automatically.

Hi, you can create statistical IO, set budget for it, and while posting to cost center assign that IO.

Hi

Depends on what feature you are using

If you use funds mngt, you can block postngs to cost centers that exceed the budget.... I guess you can do it montly as well as annually

If you are using Statistical IOs for budgetary control, then ofcourse you can do it at annual level only
