3755338 - Double Budget Consumption from PO Accruals in WBS

Symptom

When a Purchase Order (PO) is created with WBS account assignment, a commitment document is generated in CO, which reduces the available budget accordingly. This is the expected and correct behavior. However, when an accrual document is subsequently posted through automatic accrual posting for the open PO to recognize the accrued expense for that period, SAP treats the accrual posting as an independent actual cost line item. As a result, budget availability control is triggered a second time, leading to additional budget consumption and causing then available budget to be reduced again.
