IO External Settlement Cost Element & budget check

Dears

We are using the same posted primary cost element for external settlement of IO to Asset. We have budget control and availability checks at the level of Internal Orders.

Since we are using the same primary cost element, after the settlement, the budget allotted and used on the Internal Order is getting revised and the assigned budget is getting reduced.

How can we solve this without using another cost element for the settlement ?

Is there a way to exclude IO settlements out of Budget check ?

Regards.

Nikki - can you share screen shots? Usually settlement is a secondary cost element. Thank you

Hi Nikki,

You can try this workaround. Maintain the cost element with origin group in OPTK and create a CO substitution to substitute the origin group to to that cost element during the settlement posting.

Thanks
