Business Transaction Group (SAP Library - Internal Orders (CO-OM-OPA))

Business Transaction Group

All business transactions are assigned to a transaction group in availability control.

You can define an action that the system is to execute if a transaction were to use too many assigned funds.
For more information, see Availability Control Actions.

For the following transaction groups, you can define tolerance limits for different actions in each budget profile. To do so, in Customizing:

For internal orders, choose Controlling ® Internal Orders ® Budgeting and Availability Control ® Define Tolerance Limits for Availability Control.

For projects, choose Project System Õ Costs Õ Budget Õ Define Tolerance Limits.

All transaction groups
This general transaction group simplifies entry and is useful if you do not want to define separate tolerance limits for every transaction group.
If a tolerance limit is defined for all transaction groups, you can still define a limit for one transaction group. This limit takes precedence before the "general" tolerance limit. The tolerance level and action defined for all transaction groups are ignored if additional entries are available for a specified transaction group.

Purchase order

Project Orders
During planning for a project order, changes to the residual order plan are checked. The system also uses this transaction group to check the assignment and dependency of an order/network that already has assigned values.

Note

Postings to project orders are checked in the relevant transaction group, for example a purchase order from a project order is checked in the purchase order transaction group.

Budgeting
During the project, it is possible that the budget may be reduced, even though assigned funds already exist in the project. You require this transaction group to enable availability control to take into any account retrospective budget changes.
If this causes the assigned funds to exceed the tolerance limit of availability control, the system refers you to the error log when you check or save the budget. The log contains warnings or error messages issued by the system when the tolerance level was exceeded.
