You expect the amount shown for the Total Encumbrance field related to a Project Task different than the one showing in the Project Cost and Revenue by Project Structure report.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Business Analytics work center.
2. Select Design Reports.
3. Open the Project Cost and Revenue by Project Structure report.
4. Put your selection criteria.
5. Add the Field Total Encumbrance to the report.
6. Run the report.

Result: For Project Task ABC(ABC represents the ID of the Project Task) you expect for the field Total Encumbrance to show YYY(YYY represents the expected amount) but it is a different one.

One of the potential reason why you would expect a different amount is based on your time selection. For example the related Purchase Order line item not delivered. The total Encumbrance Amount does not follow time selection. It is a cumulative total and not a period specific one.

As indicated in the Cause section, you should not expect Total Encumbrance amount result based on periods.

You may also use The Encumbrance - Line Items report for the involved Project Task to verify that the amount is correct.
