3618435 - Budget exceeded error despite available budget in cost center - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Budget exceeded error when there is budget available on the cost center/Project.
  • Insufficient budget error when creating a PR, PO, or JV with cost center /Project having budget from the reversal of a posting.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Select a budget head with no budget entered.
  2. Create a credit entry or a reversal JV of the previous year in the current year.
  3. Assigned amount shows negative and available amount shows positive.
  4. Try to create a new PR/PO using this available budget, system shows error of no budget.

Cause

Generally, during the budget availability control, the budget check is based on the usage rate, which is defined in the related tolerance limit of a budget availability control profile.

The real usage rate ( := assigned value / defined budget value) is to be compared with the usage rate defined in the tolerance limit.

One pre-condition of the comparison is that the defined budget value must be positive.

Resolution

Maintain a tiny budget of 1 on the cost center/ Project.
