3606983 - Budget Control in Customer Projects in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • A challenge is encountered regarding budget control in customer projects (scope item J11) within SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
  • Budgets can be assigned to customer projects and their work packages using the Import Financial Plan Data app with Plan Category BUDGET01, but the system does not enforce any budget control when actual or commitment postings are made to these projects or work packages.
  • A more detailed level of budget control is required than what is currently offered at the work package level.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Assign budgets to customer projects and their work packages using the Import Financial Plan Data app with Plan Category BUDGET01.
  2. Make actual or commitment postings to these projects or work packages.
  3. Observe that the system does not enforce any budget control.

Cause

The budget control feature is only available for Enterprise Projects. Professional Services Projects (both internal and customer projects) do not have this feature.

Resolution

  1. Understand that the budget control feature is only available for Enterprise Projects and not for Professional Services Projects.
  2. Create an Influence Request for the functionality to be added in the future through the SAP Customer Influence Portal.
  3. Submit the improvement request and participate in voting and commenting on existing influence requests.
