Hi,

You do not understand the OKEP concept. You need a special (new) cost element of category 1, not 90. It creates CO documents only and will mirror your BS accounts postings for DPs. And it is a special Value Type in CO (12).

No, without cost element you cannot have a budget check in CO/PS.

What do you mean by 'workaround'? Every functionality has its limitation when it comes to core attributes. Budget module of CO operates only with CO objects, i.e. cost element and cost object. Without these two elements, the module won't work.

Hi,

There is a special setup in PS to reflect down payments, that is transaction OKEP. Once you have it in place your budget control can work with those cost elements.

Hi Paulo,

In OKEP settings when a B/S GL is given it tells that this is not a primary cost element, in my case I need the budget check on B/S GL as far as i know for the B/S GL there will be no budget check from PS.

Let me throw some mote light on the existing business

Prepaid expenses such as Medical insurance and Vehicle insurance are booked against the B/S GL first and from there it will get distributed

Now in PS prepaid expenses is considered as a project with budget assigned, When a PO is booked for Prepaid expenses with P as account assignment and GL is given as balance sheet GL . it will not check the budget , Neither the actual value is shown after the Invoicing.

Can the budget check happen without a cost element (C-Element category 90) assigned to B/S

Hi,

Budgetary control in PS would happen only on cost elements, which are mainly representing P&L accounts, and not balance sheet accounts. You might consider to implement PSM-FM for more flexible and overall budget control.
