Internal Order Budgeting with Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am creating a purchase order for a material with account assigned as Order.

I have maintained a substitution wherein from a cost center Internal Order is derived.

I have created an Internal Order with Category - Overhead and activated the availability control for the Order. Also maintained the Budget for the Internal Order.

Now when I am creating the Purchase Order and giving the Cost center, it is deriving the Internal order but not doing the availability check.

What can be the issue in terms of Configuration or Am I missing any steps.

Please help

Hi,

Also check, whether the cost element ismaintained as an "exempt cost element". If yes, then remove the same.

Hi,

Check if the relevant G/L account is defined as cost element and that the commitment management is switched on for the controlling area and the order type.

Thanks Eli,

If I activate the committment Management at Controlling Area level and the order type, the budget will be consumed at the Purchase Order level itself. I hope I am right ?

But I want , at PO level only the control and check (in terms of error message and the system should not allow me to save the PO) and not the consumption of budget. I want to utilise the budget only at the time of issuance of the materials.

Can we achieve this without Committment management active or is it mandatory?

Any help on this.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

The budget is controlled only when it's consumed.
