Budgetary Controls and Encumbrance Accounting

My understanding is that if I enable budgetary control in GL then that would force us to enter budgets using journals only (amounts cannot be entered directly). Does budgetary control also force us to use encumbrance accounting? Would PO module then be producing encumbrance if budgetary control is enabled? Can we have budgetary control enabled without forcing the system to produce encumbrance accounting?

Hi
You must enable encoumbrance accounting in Purchasing and Payables.
however, you could setup the budgetary control of GL as Null. that means the system validation of fund check agains GL budget will always pass (no actula limit). In such case, only project budget will have effective fund check.

  • Budgetary Control and Oracle Projects

    Budgetary control for Oracle Projects was mooted as future functionality in 11i. Is this now a reality, and in which release of 11i?
    Thanks

    Budgetary Control has been added to Projects as part of MiniPack H. The documentation can be found on MetaLink. However, the docuementation does not provide a step by step set guide so I'm having trouble testing this new feature. If you find anyone who has more information regarding budgetary controls and funds check, please let me know.

  • Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

    We're running:
    -XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    -We are NOT running Middle Tier.
    -Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
    -Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
    We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
    We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
    I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
    Thanks in advance.

    > 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    You could try this TID:
    "A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
    even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
    http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
    "Resolution"
    "This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
    will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
    close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
    Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
    so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
    Network Address again."

  • Is Encumbrance Accounting Mandatory for Budgetary Control to Perform Funds

    Dear All,
    I have a doubt in Project Management Module.
    Is Encumbrance Accounting Mandatory for Budgetary Control to Perform Funds Check in Non Integrated Budget?( There is no integration between GL Budget and PA Budget)
    Thank you.
    Rajasekhar Itha

    Hi,
    If you are using your project budgets, you will not need many integration steps.
    IF you have a budget integrated, then use that account as charge account when you are creating a PO, if budget is not available for that account or it is not a budget account then system will check for budget at project level.
    You can have stand alone budget just for projects without any integration to GL budget and you can still achieve budgetary controls.
    Let me know if you need more help.

    Acrl Type
    Accounting Principle
    Account determination:
    Target account
    Source account
    document type
    but if you see in the configuration in Derivation Rules:
    It gives a different configuration like

    in this I am really get confused what is derivation rule in the accrul engine.
    Can anyone please summarize for the same.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Derivation Rule - is nothing but the deriving the values based on some criteria mentioned in the configuration.
    Derivation rules you can see in the PCA (Profit Center Accounting) , CO-PA (Profitability Analysis).
    This contains the different steps based on the requirement.

  • IBAN: no control with Key Bank and Bank Account

    Hi,
    I maintain the IBAN number via SM30 (SAP 3.1I), but there is no control between the IBAN and the corresponding Key Bank (TIBAN-BANKL) and Bank Account (TIBAN-BANKL).
    This means you can enter a valid IBAN whatever the key bank and bank account number.
    Ex:
    BANKS BANKL  BANKN         IBAN
    NL    019    0192331515 -> NL94RABO0192331515
    NL    024    0240640764 -> NL94RABO0192331515
    u2026
    If anyone has resolved this issue ?
    Thank you
    Laurent

    I think, System validates IBAN when you flag "Bank data" check box in country specific checks (General settings). Check this setting in your case.

  • Check for Updates and User Account Control

    With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
    When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
    Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
    Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities.  Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks.  So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
    Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
    Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

    With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating.  There is nothing for me to click.  Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
    With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.'  In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader.  The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
    Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray.  And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature.  The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
    In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled.  And this represents a security dilemma for us.

  • Program Hierarchy & Absolute budgetary control (Functional)

    Hi,
    I am using program hierarchy where I am using financial structure as well as Workplan structure. I have a project at the top which is tracked as a program (say) PRG1. I have three projects (P1, P2, P3) linked to the above program through the workplan at the task level.
    I have budgets pre-defined (say 10000 $) for the program (PRG1) at the beginning of the year. I will enter this budget amount at a task in the program project.
    There will be multiple projects (P1, P2, P3) starting at different times during the year falling within the above program scope whose budget as and when entered should not exceed the budget amount entered at the program level.
    Case :
    01-JAN-09 Program Level Budget entered at the beginning of the year - 10000$
    01-FEB-09 Project (P1) started with a budget allocated from the above program - 3000$
    Requirement is --> System should check against the program level budget and allow entry of this amount at the project (P1) level.
    01-MAR-09 Project (P2) started with a budget allocated from the above program - 5000$
    Requirement is --> System should check against the program level budget and allow entry of this amount at the project (P2) level.
    01-JUN-09 Project (P3) started with a budget allocated from the above program - 3000$
    Requirement is --> System should check against the program level budget and reject entry of this amount at the project (P3) level.
    We had earlier successfully used this kind of solution but with GL Integration Budgets in Release 11.5.10.
    --- the solution is briefly explained in metalink Doc ID: 790613.1
    Since the new family pack M has these features of Program Structures/Hierarchy, can we use them to control my budgets using encumbrances at requisition and PO.
    Request viewers , project functional consultants to pour in their views and solutions. I can share the detailed step by step solutioning done in Release 11.5.10 using GL Budget and Project Budget integration.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Dina for your suggested solution.
    In Release 11i, we were using the solution of entering the TOP Budget amount against a GL Code Combination (Using Budget, Budget Organization definition) in GL. Then in projects, in the project type definition for budgetary control options we have entered -
    Budgetary Control
    Budget Type :     Approved Cost Budget
    Balance Type :     Encumbrance
    Non-Project Budget :     GL Funding Budget
    Encumbrance Type :     PA Encumbrance
    External Budgets :     GL Cost Budget
    Then for each of these low level projects, we enter the project budgets against approved cost budget. We have customized the Work-Flow based Account Generator for the “Project Budget Account” to refer to the GL code combination used in the GL Budget. Then we baseline the budget and generate the encumbrance journal entries which reserve the funds for the project budget and baselines the project budget.
    Next time for the second project, when it checks against the GL budget, we have the total budget minus the budget allocated to the first project. This way we had control of project level budgets not exceeding the amount entered in the GL.
    But now the requirement is to reduce the dependency on GL module for this GL budget entries. Also we want to use Program Hierarchy for the single view that it offers. Since we are entering the budgets at the program level, we dont want to enter it again in GL following the solutioning in 11i.
    Regards.

  • Family Sharing and child account

    Hello,
    I recently bought an iPod for my child and wanted her to have her own account instead of using mine because I didn't want her to have all my messages going to her.  So, I set up her iTunes account and had to change her birthday to allow for it. (I know, wasn't the best decision)  Then I realized with Family sharing you could setup a child under the age restriction so that she would have her own account and I would be able to control her purchases and things.
    Unfortunately I am not able to change her birthday to the correct one.
    I saw someone mention delete the iTunes account and then recreate it, but I don't see where I can do that.  I want to either change her birthday or somehow start over from the beginning.  I don't want to create a new account using a different email address, I want to create one with her email address under family sharing.
    how can I do this? I want to set her up in family sharing as a child, not an adult.  But her iTunes account is already setup as an adult.  How do I change it?

    Hey avalanche_mt,
    Congratulations on getting an iPod for your daughter, I am sure she will enjoy it very much.
    It is possible to change the birthdate associated with an Apple ID if the current birthdate shows the account holder is over 18 years of age. If you are using a Mac, sign in to that account in System Preference > iCloud and change the date there. See this article for reference -
    OS X Yosemite: Change iCloud account information
    You can also change this information on the web at appleid.apple.com. Select Manage your Apple ID, enter the Apple ID and password, go to Password and Security.
    Note that the birthdate can only be changed one time, and that accounts that show a birthdate of under 18 can not be changed.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,
    Brett L 

  • Difference between field staus group for posting key and GL account

    Hi all,
    can anyone tell me what is the difference of usage for field status group in posting key and GL account as i notice the fileds are the same. during data entry, system will check both field status or how?
    thanks.

    Hi
    Both are to control the field status of the line item.
    But, the FSG of the Posting Key and the GL FSG status should not clash like below.
    Take 'Assignment' field as example :
    Posting key FS - Suppress & GL FS - Required    - will give you error message at the time of posting
    Posting key FS - Required & GL FS - Suppress    - will give you error message at the time of posting
    Otherthan the above, all other combination works

  • Budget Availability control and Assigned Value in Project

    Hi,
    Project is so structured that it is similar to the product structure. Assume a simple case with two level BOM where a sub assembly M1 includes another sub assembly M2.
    In project, these two sub assemblies are assigned under two different WBS elements W1 and W2 respectively where hierarchically W1 is assigned under W2.
    After release we have two Production Order P1 and P2 account assigned to W1 and W2 respectively.
    Assume M2 stnd price is 100 and M1 stnd Price is 150.
    My process output ultimately is only M1 so I would prefer to give a Budget of 150 Rs. However, since P1 and P2 production Orders are accoun assigned, a total 100+150 =250 Rs is showing up under assigned value and error of Budget over run is being encountered.
    One solution can be to give budget of 250 Rs, which not logical as I am producing only M1.
    We tried by un flagging Additional and Assign funds in plan indicators for Order category 20 and 10 in OPSV. But that did not help.
    Once P2 prod order is confirmed, the assigned value for W2 is becoming to actual cost of P2 and remains even after setting TECO and Settling P2. It becomes Zero only when W2 is removed from acct assignment of P2, which again can not be a solution as WBS and Prod Order will loose the linkage.
    We desire avaialbility control to verify only against the actual cost Project. No assigned value should be considered.
    Need your help to resolve it.
    Thanks
    Saikishore ganga.

    Hi Sudhir,
    Thanks for the valuable input.
    As you rightly said we can not produce M1 without M2. But budget has to be only 150 Rs. Because
    Cost M1 = Cost M2 + other mat Cost in assly + Assly operations Cost.
    Cost M1 = 100 + 10 (assume) + 40 = 150 Rs.
    Physically I am Producing only M1. So my budget would be atmost the cost of the item that is 150 Rs.
    But in project we had to assign M1 and M2 under two diff WBS elements because it takes considerable amount of time to completed entire qnty structure i.e BOM and Routing of M1 and then release. Till them M2 has to wait for M1 BOM and Routing to be completed. In order again time , M1 is assigned under W2 , W2 is released and in MRP W2-M1 BOM explodes and manufacturing begins.
    When M1 bom gets ready, it is assigned under W1 and then W1 will be released. Duplication of Prod Orders are taken care.
    However, by using exempt cost elements feature I think we can resolve the above.
    Will update once I do my experiments on this.
    Thanks for the input.

  • Acrobat 8.1.4 Standard and user accounts in Windows XP Pro SP3

    Does anyone have a workaround or solution which allows Power users and non-admin account users to be able to create pdf's? For a while I was using the regedit workaround (regedit>local machine>software>Adobe>Distiller>8.0>and then for Printer Job Control and PDFMaker) granting authenticated users control. And it was working....now, non of the non-admin accounts are able to create a pdf from within the Acrobat application, by using the plug-ins for Office not even by going through printers and using print to file. I have tried repairing the application and still no dice.
    Anyone got a small miracle up their sleeve? Thanks for anyone and everyone's help in advance.

    Well, well, well, right before somenone could answer me. I found the answer just here in the forum. I really love it!!!
      Seems to be a incompatibility with the file created on Folder Lock installation: "windrvnt.sys." In this case, it is just uninstall Folder Lock and tah dah! Everything works perfectly.
      Here comes my request: Hey, developers you all could give a try in resolve this issue, huh? At least give a try...It'll be very nice have the two programs properly installed in anybody's (who wants it) system.
      Thanks, anyway for this space to research, change some infos even undirectly. If it was not this forum and all the debate in here maybe I'll be in the dark search for the resolution of it.
