3727134 - No budget check triggered during Service Entry Sheet creation with account assignment P

• No budget check occurs during the creation of a Service Entry Sheet (SES) with Account Assignment Category P when referencing a Purchase Order (PO) created with Account Assignment Category U.
• The SES is successfully posted without any budget check error or warning, even though the posted value exceeds the available budget.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a Purchase Order (PO) with Account Assignment Category U.
2. Create a Service Entry Sheet (SES) with Account Assignment Category P and post an amount greater than the budget amount of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

The development team has identified the issue and is enhancing the budget availability control process for scenarios involving Account Assignment Category U in the PO and Account Assignment Category P in the SES.

With the enhancement, during the SES creation step, a budget check will be triggered. If the available budget is insufficient, an error message will be displayed, and SES approval will fail. The enhancement is currently in the validation phase and is planned for deployment as a correction feature between April 17-19, 2026, 2602.02. This correction will resolve the issue permanently.

As a workaround until the correction feature is deployed:

• Change the Account Assignment Category from U to P in the existing PO.
• Create and approve the SES/Goods Receipt based on the updated PO.
• The budget check will be triggered during the PO creation step. If the SES amount differs from the PO amount, the budget check will be triggered again during SES creation.
