No Availability Control for one WBS within Project

[sunil_yadav2]

Hi All,

i have got a requirement, where i need to deactivate availability control for one Fifth level WBS where we have 5 level of hierarchy.

fifth level is operational as Business requirement. Client want not to have budget/availability control for one WBS where material procured and inventory managed.

below is Project Structure:

1	TJ-10017	Ntwk Business Case1
2	TJ-10017.01	Capacity
3	TJ-10017.01.B1	SBU1
4	TJ-10017.01.B1.NY	New York
5	TJ-10017.01.B1.NY.P121	New Mtl Procurement
5	TJ-10017.01.B1.NY.E121	Services
5	TJ-10017.01.B1.NY.C145	Existing Inventory
___	______________________________	________________________________________

Client does not want to budget WBS "New Mtl Procurement" and do not want to restrict for cost of any material PO/inventory.

is there any way to exclude any posting to this WBS from Budget Check.

Note:SAP do have Exempt Cost Element Functionality but as per Business, they do not want to restrict any Cost Element for budget check.

Thanks

Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Well, its possible using user status. Refer below thread.

Availability control disappear in OK02 object type | SCN

I have not much explored on the impact, but have replicated a scenario using this option. Just see whether this works for your requirement, else you need to think about user exit or enhancement.
