Availability control issue

[s_raghavan]

Hi,

I have come across a issue with Availability control. Your suggestion will be of great help.

Our setting is simple.

We have only overall Budget. There is no Release. Neither we have Annual Budget control.

The system will check with Budget only for Service Items at the time of Purchase order/Requisition . For Materials that are inventoried, system will check for Budget availability when the Goods are issued against the network and Activity.

It implies that the Commitment occurs(Report s_alr_87013558) only for the service items/orders.

My client has raised an issue that Budget exceed error has occurred when making service PO. When I checked the report the following things were identified:( the following is a sample)

1. Budget is for Rs.1,00,000

2. Commitment is Rs.70,000

3. Actuals is for Rs.40,000

4. Remaining order plan is for Rs.6,000.

5. Assigned is for Rs.1,16,000(i.e., 70000400006000)

I wonder how the system did not check with the Budget when the the Budgets crossed 1,00,000. And why the system is showing error message now?

That too even if I make a service PO for 1 Re., system throws error that Budget is exceeded for Rs.1400.

Please provide your valuable suggestion.

Raghav.
