Internal order for AUC and Funds Management

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We are creating a PO for Asset Under Construction against the internal order (maintained internal order budget ), but budget check is not happening against the internal order budget value.

Funds Management is activated, but for AUC we are planning to use internal order budget, is there any issue with FM for internal order budget check?

Pl suggest..

Hi,

I/O budget check and FM have nothing in common. For I/O budget check, verify the following:

a) commitment management is activated in CO and in order type

b) in ACSET transaction order is switched on

c) you have defined G/L accounts as cost elements

d) AVC in CO is switched on

Dear Eli,

Thanks for your immediate reply

a) commitment management is activated in CO and in order type

Yes it activated

b) in ACSET transaction order is switched on

No order is not switched on, kindly suggest configuration to be done

c) you have defined G/L accounts as cost elements

Cost element is created

d) AVC in CO is switched on

Yes it is switched on

Hi,

You have to create entries with CAUFN object in your depreciation area via ACSET (like, the entries you might have by default for cost centre). Without this setting, CO commitment won't be created and budget won't be checked in CO against I/O.

Dear Eli,

Thanks for your kind quick reply..

I have done change as you suggested but still it is not checking budget at the PO level against internal order.

Hi,

Does PO create a commitment? You can check it in PO screen. Also, please verify that I/O is derived to PO, when you acquire for asset.

Dear ELi,

Thanks for your immediate reply

I have created PO with reference to account assignment category "F"  then I entered internal order in PO manually, we are planning to settle internal order to AUC and finally AUC to main asset

More over in PO system displayed FUND CENTRE and Commitment item.. so I assigned DUMMY CI and FC as we need budget check in IO rather in FM

Kindly suggest is this process is correct?

Ah, it's an 'F' category... OK, then I/O is certainly there. FC and CI play no role there. Did you check if CO commitment is created? ME23N - Menu - Environment - AC Commitments.

Dear Eli,

Sorry for late reply

CO commitment is created in ME23N

Hi,

If CO commitment (not FM commitment) is created and you can see it also in KOB2 transaction for I/O in question, then the only problem that might be with your budget check is that budget control is not well-defined (except for system bug, of course). So, once more verify, that:

a) Budget profile is well maintained

b) AVC tolerance profile is defined

c) The cost element in question is not defined as 'exempt' from AVC

d) AVC control is switched (KO31)

If all points above are correct, I'd open OSS message.
