Actual cost in S_ALR_87013558

[Former Member]

HI Experts,

We have situation in report S_ALR_87013558 when compared to CJI3 report.

This is the scenario:

1. The Assigned budget – 2012 for WBS element is USD 50830370.04.

2. Actual Costs posted to the project – 2012 - USD 43796039.46.

3. The budget calculation is

Current Budget – 2012  - A       = USD 50830370.04

Actual Costs – 2012      - B       = USD 43796039.46

(As per report display)

Open Commitments – 2012 - C = USD 6596382.92

                                                --------------------------

Remaining Budget-2012      = USD 437947.66

(A-(B+C)).

4. Now in CJI3 report, the actual cost is USD 42909606.61.

5. Now the difference between 2 reports is (USD): (43796039.46 - 42909606.61) = 886432.85

6. While observing the S_ALR_**** report, it was found that this difference amount is same as the sum of (41338.86-1271651.41+2116876.58), which are in different currencies (EUR, USD and OMR).

7. This amount has increased the actual cost of the WBS element and hence the error is displayed while creating invoice, with the same amount (USD 886432.85).

Question is, is it possible for system to find the currency deviation and add actual cost to WBS element for budget calculation? If so, what are the settings for same?

And what are the settings are required for invoice level budget check?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narender

 Question is, is it possible for system to find the currency deviation and add actual cost to WBS element for budget calculation? If so, what are the settings for same?

You can not add currency deviation as actual cost to your WBS elements, in standard system. If this your business requirement, you need to do development. Discuss this with your ABAP consultant.

And what are the settings are required for invoice level budget check? 

Check following for available options for tolerance limit, in standard system

HI Amaresh,

Thanks for your reply.

1. This is not our business requirement to add the currecncy deviation. In our analysis we found that the amount after addition of currencies, is making the actual cost and the budget is getting exhausted due to same. (this is in report S_ALR_87013558).

The actual cost display in Budget report is more (by 886564.03). Hence the available budget is reduced by the same amount. Is it normal behaviour of the system? how to overcome to reduce this amount such that the budget is available for invoice creation.

2. There are some settings for Invoice level check. Please share the details if you have.

Thanks.
