DP91 : No expenditure items found - RRB

[avinash_priyadarshi]

HI Experts,

As per the client requirement, we have done the configurations for RRB process via Cats timesheet booking. But while testing we are getting an error during running the DP91. The error is No expenditure items found ( Message no. VPK1310).

First, I want to understand the correct flow of DP91 process. Below steps are being followed by us while testing the RRB:

• 1)Create project / WBS element (CJ20N) – There are three separate child WBS for Labor, Travel and other expense and all selected as Billing element/ Account assignment/ Planning element.
• 2)Create contract (VA41) - with Materials assigned to DIP profile
• 3)CATS Timesheet book (CAT2) – Labor WBS
• 4)CATS Timesheet approval (CATS_APPR_LITE)
• 5)Transfer costs to CO (CATA)
• 6)Create billing request (DP91) – with contract number and posting date.
• 7)Revenue Recognition (VF44)
• 8)Create Invoice (VF01)

Please let me know if I missing/incorrect steps to resolve the error of “ No expenditure”. Another query is how to post actuals for travel and other expense thru CATS.

We have checked the Snote 301117 related to DIP configuration and other forum issues and there is no clear statement anywhere to resolve the issue "No expenditure items found". So request to help and provide the solution. Please treat this as Urgent.

Hi,

Please check in below steps:

1. Check actuals are posted successfully. Report CJI3 or other line item report might help you here. (Note the G/L during process and posting date)

2. Do check the date range for which you are running DP91 and posted doc date falls in range selected.

3. Go to ODP1 and check for source G/L or activity type used for posting are maintained. (Without maintaining value for certain criteria DIP profile might be created successfully).

4. Check for the billing material and its restriction in ODP1.

Let me know if you are still facing issue after above check. If possible have check values on excel and check them in sequence. This might help you in easing your checks and observations.

Regards,

Pradeep

Hi Kumar,

Run DIP profile check.

If you are confident that all the configurations are correct, check the dates in DP91 and make sure the CATS posting date falls within the date in DP91.

Thanks

HI Srinivasan,
You are right after running ODP2 there was some error which I resolved and proceed further. But after running the DP91 there is same issue no expenditure found. I want to understand that I have not assigned anywhere the contract with CATS , so how the CATS hours booking will come to the amount to billed from DP91 ? i need some basics clarity from experts. Please help.
