Hi Barath,
I believe that your configuration is such that the inventoried materials are not taken under commitment whereas the direct costs/expenses are taken as commitment lines.
All you need is to check if a cost element is create for the G/L that appears while you are creating PR or PO. If no cost element exists, then system will not check with the Budget.
I will give you a simple example to understand this:
Make a PO with acc *** cat "P" and see the account assignment tab. Now see the G/L. Make a note of it. Now enter the WBS in the relevant section and you will find that the G/L has changed. If you check that G/L, a cost element will be assigned to that.
Now again make a PO with acc *** category "Q". See the Account assignment tab. Note down the G/L. Enter the WBS element and you will find that the same G/L appears again. If you analyse that G/L, there will be no cost element created for that.
The G/L basically appears based on the Automatic Account Determination by your MM/FI Consultant against the Relevant Transaction Keys.
Hope it helps you.
