availability control

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

Could You tell me how availability control works when working on budget? The sytuation:

my user deactivated availability control, and needs to do few budget operations on WBS. First is decrease budget to level lower than actual costs. It is not possible because of availability control, but on this WBS we are able to make costs higher than budget. Is this standard behavior? Is there any configuration of availability control?

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

First I have to thanks for Your posts. I read everything You suggested. We have defined ++ as a business transaction group in customizing for tolerance limits. As I understand when user deactivate availability control it should be possible to change budget, even to level lower than actual costs. Am I right?

Regards.

It depends on your budget profile....suppose, you have set availability control to be active once budget is allocated and then you have deactivated your Avail control manually...but if you go to CJ30/CJ32 to reduce your budget..during save of budget, the avail contril will get activated once again and will say budget error(if it is less than assigned value).

Yes, I have "Automatic activation during budget allocation" in budget profile. Do You thing, that it works like that? I understand i'ts possible, but very strange. If it is standard system behavior the only way to get by this problem is to change budget profile. Am I right?

Thank You for replies. Problem solved- need to change, or build another budget profile. It was very instructive lesson for me.
