Hi,

If the WBS Elements are linked to IM program node then you should make the budget changes through IM52.

Hi,

Even though CJ35 and CJ38 are both transactions to perform budget returns, it is important to know that they are working slightly different:

a) via txn CJ38 you return money exactly for the WBS elements you indicate an amount for. So if you indicate 1 COP for

WBS element XX alone, the return is only being carried out for this WBS element. Since this WBS element is

not (directly) attached to an investment program position, this is not a problem.

b) via txn CJ35, however, as per system design you return money for the WBS element you indicate p l u s for all WBS elements lying on the hierarchical path above, in order to guarantee that the budget remains consistent (= check error free).

So by indicating 1 COP for WBS element XX, the system also tries to return the same amount from the overlying WBS element YYY.

Since this WBS element, however, i s attached to investment program position of investment program, the system blocks this posting because this program position forsees budget distribution and thus budgeting is allowed via budget distribution o n l y (txn IM52) - see e.g. F1 help for indicator 'Budg.dist. ovrl' in the master of the investment program position.

So basically you can say that txns CJ35 and CJ36 are not suitable for projects attached to investment program positions that forsee budget distribution. Please check your transaction IM52.

Please check if this fits with your scenario.

Best Regards,

Vanessa.
