Work Order related Budgeting with Project Systems -Operational Expenses

Project Creation: CJ20N

Use relevant Project Profile with Object Class- Overhead Cost (Non-Capital)

For Ex: Project Profile- Zxxxxxx–Non-Capital Proj

Co. Code: XXXX

Object Class: OCOST

 

We are trying to manage Operating Expenses in this case.

Budget Allocation to the Project/WBS- T.code –CJ30

Settlement Rule

Create settlement Rule- Edit- Costs-settlement Rule

Settlement Receiver  as CTR- XXXXXXXX to whatever cost center we want to settle.

Create Maintenance Order using T.Code : IW31

 

Budget Exceeded error, as the Material Price is more than Budget Allocated for WBS- TEST12345-2-1

Budget Allocated is 75

Budget exceeded error is due to the fact that the value of each is more than 75 value

Create Maintenance Order using T.Code : IW31

Maintenance Order – created successfully with material price less than 75 amount, which is less than the budget allocation for the WBS- TEST12345-2-1

Once MIGO is done actual cost flows to WBS

 MIGO Done and the Material Doc No : 4903073184

Check the Actual Cost Posted to WBS

Now, use CJ88 and complete the settlement which is normally a period end activity

One can see the settled Values using T.code : S_ALR_87013588

Conclusion :

Project System budget control is a versatile functionality which would control the budget availability at the WBS level and users have advantage to control and monitor their expenses doesn’t cross the allocated Budget.

Costs can come into project from various quarters like Purchase Order, Plant Maintenance Order or even from FI Postings through Journal Entry and of course all these shall be assigned with WBS as assignment to use this budget control functionality.
