Use of 'Cost Budget - Needs Approval' Budget Type? Change of Status?

Hi Experts
Could you please explain me whats the use of budget type 'Cost Budget - Needs Approval' ? And is it possible to use workflow to change this to 'Approved Cost Budget' after due approval?
Requirement is to create a initial draft budget which is yet to be approved, so at this time the budget type required is 'Cost Budget - Needs Approval'. Once this is submitted for approval and approved theh this should be shown as 'Approved Cost Budget'.
Please let me know if this is achievable and how?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Budget types are mainly used to classify your Project budgets, there can be different types of budgets for your project cost and Project Bill. The Cost Budget type is designed in such a way to keep a track of your expenses with some pre-estimation of your Project expenditures.
Whatever you create initially, This can be treated as Initial draft budget, once after the manager approves the budget then the status changes to "baselined" there is a field to enter the description, where you can give the case as Intial draft budget or Approved draft budget or you can use the Version name for the case, "Version 0" is the Intial draft budget and "Version 1" is the approved cost budget.
but functionally, for one project cost budget there cannot be two different budget types.

Hi,When I submit the budget for approval, it is approved and base lined when we submit it for approval. It does not go in approval hierarchy. We want it to flow through approval hierarchy.

Hi Amit,
if I understand correctly, you just need for a particular object a tooltip to be showed.
There is no such functionality hence you used the trick of using a hyperlink, which if clicked generates undesired behavior.
Hyperlinks don't allow themselves to be disabled, therefore if you are using that workaround you must cope with that.
I would suggest to create an Idea at [https://ideas.sap.com] for having in the properties of an object a tooltip, then post the link to the idea here and other users will vote if they like the idea.
Thanks and regards,

Cost element group wise budgeting

Hi All ,
Can any one tell me how to do cost element group wise budgeting?
Thanks in advance,
Manisha

Hi
In transaction KPZ2 you can do budgeting for a group. However you need to actually budget for the elements in the group thereby consolidating for the group.
You cannot budget for a cost element group directly without budgeting for a cost element in SAP.

Subcode cost posted more than budgeted amount.

Hello PS Experts,
I have one query regarding we budgeted one subcode 4000 usd on 11/03 after user suplmented 8000usd on 23/03 but when he was supplemented wbs suplement status is inactive, after that user posted more than budgeted amount 30000 usd.
When we are checking report it is showing minues 18000 value because in budgeted status assigned value is 30000 distrivuted value is 12000.but when i am checking subcode availabity activation or not,it is showing activated.
If budget availability control is activated system can not be allow to post more than budget?
But if am checking cj20n status 23/03 budget supplement is inactive.
How the user inactive the supplement budget,?
May be the reason system allowed to posting more than budget.Anybody can share your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Nivas.

Hi Srinivas,
Please do the following:
1. Check your settings for Tolerance Limits for AVAC.
2. Check if any cost elements are maintained for exemption list from availability.
3. Check the Availability analysis report using CJ30. And see if any cost is getting posted using Cost Elements which are in Exemption list.
4. Check how the postings were made to the WBS where you have more actual cost then budget? Is the tolerance limit setting maintained for all targets or some selected ones..
Hope it helps you..
Cheers

Anyone figured out a way to use JWS without needing the MIME type preloaded

Anyone figured out a way to use JWS without needing the MIME type preloaded on the client's computer?
Why is it not server-side loading? How can I force a load of JWS and the MIME-type?

when you install web start, the mime type jnlp is associated with WEBstart.
The WEB start home page has code to request an
install if web start is not on the user system.
On the web server, of course you need to specify the association between a
.jnlp file and the mime type. This is in the configuration of the server.
It would be nice if standard ISP's provided that for user directories.
Anyone think AOL would do this?
After all it should not cost anything like installing servlets.

I need to move the iTunes library to an External Hard Drive to free up space on iMac. Need suggestions on type of External Hard Drive to use. A Multimedia Hard Drive like LaCie LaCinema Classic HD Multimedia Hard Drive OR a Large Desktop Hard Drive?

I need to move an iTunes library to an External Hard Drive to free up space on iMac. I Need suggestions on type of External Hard Drive to use. Should you use a Multimedia Hard Drive like LaCie LaCinema Classic HD Multimedia Hard Drive OR a standard Large Desktop Hard Drive like Western Digital/Seagate/LaCie?

There is no benefit to the multi-media feature on the first drive you mentioned. If you are going to look at differences between certain drives, I'd look at the differences in reliability first.

Cost center effect to budget posting- urgent-please help

Dear expert,
What is the effect in create new cost center to actual /budget posting in SAP?
Please somebody clear me about this issue
Thank you.

Hi
1. In Transaction code KPZ2
With reference to Controlling area and cost centre or cost centre group the perid wise budget can be define for each cost centre ( By select of periodic overview screen)
Note : The availability check is not available with this cost centre budget ( i.e. if the actual amount exceeds than budgeted amount it allowes to do the further transaction.)
Report S_ALR_87013648 -
Range:Actual/Budget/Commitments
will give the information of budget and actual amount.
2. Also in trasaction code KP06 it is possible to define cost centre and cost element plan amount without availability check.
Report S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance with give the information of Plan vs actual and variance
If the above answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Goods issueto any cost centre for 201 mov.type using Transaction MB1A

Hi all ,
our user wants to activate Batch management indicator in material master , but there is stock in current and previous periods , so I suggested as GI the stock to any cost centre for 201 mov.type in previous and current periods , then mark the "Batch management indicator " in materail master and later cancel the GI for 202 mov.type in those periods.
But , now the stock in previous period is 3500 qty and Current period is 3000 Qty . If the user try to issue the GI in previous period , system displays error message as "deficit of SL Unrestricted-use 500 qty"
Please advise how to acheive this.
Regards,
Amara.

start with a 202 and post 500 to your current stock.
then do 201 to issue3500 in previous period
then you set the batch management flag
and do a 202 for for 3500 in previous period
followed by a 201 to remove 500 in current period

Peter,

Assigned Budget in Annual Budget Table (BPJA)

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me shed some light into my question.
I need to create a budget report which will display the annual values of a Projectu2019s budget and the available budget. Now I know there are at least 2 budget tables, which is:
BPGE : Total for Overall Value
BPJA : Total for Annual Value
Since I need annual values, I wanted to use table BPJA (Total for Annual Value) of which I need to extract Budget and Assigned Budget values. However when I look at the table, no records exist for value type = u201842u2019 (Assigned Budget). There exists only value type u201841u2019 (Budget) or u201847u2019 (Program Budget). This is different with table BPGE, where records exist for assigned budget.
In accordance to above values in table BPJA, the Assigned Budget column in t-code CJ31 (Display Original Project Budget) also doesnu2019t display any values for annual rows. However, the Assigned Budget for overall row is displayed.
Now my question: is that how the table is normally behaved, i.e. value type u201842u2019 (Assigned Budget) is only written to table for Overall Value (BPGE) and not for Annual Value (BPJA)? Also that CJ31 only displays Assigned Budget values for Overall and not for Annual Rows? Or did I miss something? I need the assigned budget value because I need to calculate the available budget, whereas calculating the values from other tables (COSP, COSS, RPSCO) would require a more complex extraction.
Iu2019ve searched in the SAP forums and also SAP Notes and couldnu2019t find anything that mentions about the above problem Iu2019m having.
Thanks in advance for any of your input.
cheers.

Hi Abdul,
How's your Budget Profile setting which allows BPJA to display Assigned Budget? Is it Time Frame = "Annual values" only and Availability Control with "Overall" unchecked?
I just tested using another setting where only Annual values is checked and Overall tickbox in Availability Control must be unchecked, and the assigned budget does show up in BPJA. Seems like this setting might be why Assigned Budget won't show up in BPJA table, since value type "42" is tied to business transaction "KBFC" (Availability Control). Based on the test result, Assigned Budget only shows up in either BPGE or BPJA based on the availability control, but not both. If the availability control is set to Overall then value type shows up in BPGE, whereas when it's set to Annual then value type shows up in BPJA.
Would be great if someone can back me up on this conclusion.
Thanks.

Approved activity types per sales unit/organisation in 2009

Hello and nice days between christmas and new year,
I would like to see which activity types are approved for the different sales unit/organisation.
There is the T-Code KP25 and KP26 to see the planned activity types but can I get a list of the planned activity types associated with the sales units?
Thank you very much in advance,
Vanessa

Hi,
Hi,
The T-code-KE27-Run Periodic Valuation of Actual data is actually meant for actual data related postings for CO-PA. Periodic valuation makes it possible for you to select and valuate actual data which has already been posted to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). It uses a valuation strategy defined especially for the point of valuation 02 (Periodic actual valuation). This function is available for the record types A (incoming sales orders) and F (billing data) as well as user-defined record types.
Periodic valuation is useful, for example, if you posted line items to CO-PA at the beginning of the period using the standard cost of goods manufactured, and want to evaluate them again later using the most up-to-date costs or using the actual costs of goods manufactured determined in Material Ledger.
The system posts the difference between the original values of the line item and the new values in a new, separate line item. If you perform periodic valuation more than once for a single line item, the system posts a new "difference" line item each time the values change.
Once you have performed periodic valuation, you can display the new values in the information system.
For valuation using material cost estimates, you can choose the alternative option of displaying the periodically calculated values separately from the original values. To do this, you need to define special value fields into which to store the values from periodic valuation.
Only values that are calculated in CO-PA during valuation can be recalculated in periodic valuation. However, those quantities and values that are stored according to the same value field assignment found in SD pricing when transferred from sales orders and billing documents remain unchanged
CKMLCP is not must for KE27.
Revert for clarification.

This appears to be a BPS question and therefore not related to BCS. If so there is likely a different forum for such queries.
