Making Budget Supplements to Projects

Procedure

To make a budget supplement to a project, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Logistics or Accounting -> Project System -> Controlling -> Budgeting -> Supplement -> To project .

    The Post Supplement: Initial Screen appears.

  2. In the initial screen, enter the required issue date for the original document in the document date field. The system defaults today's date, but you can overwrite this if required.

    If you want to enter a lot of similar items, you can enter default values (listed below) in the Template field group for the supplement items that you want to enter afterwards:

  • Receiver year

    The Receiver year is the year in which the receiver object receives additional budget. To enter budget supplements in different years, leave this field empty.

  • Total values too

    If you select this indicator, the system changes the total budget for the receiver to the same extent as the annual values. To supplement total values only, select this indicator and leave the Receiver year field empty.

  • Text

    You can enter a short text in this field to describe the supplement.

  • Long text

    You can enter the name of a standard text describing the supplement in this field.

  • You can search for an existing text using the F4 help.

    The Find standard texts dialog box appears. You can enter the search criteria for a text search here.

  • If you want to create a long text, enter a description and choose Execute .

    The system displays a message that the text cannot be located.

    Choose Continue .

    A dialog box appears, in which you are asked if you wish to create the text. Once you have confirmed this, go to the editor for standard texts.

  1. If required, enter short text.

  2. Choose Continue .

    The Post Supplements: List Screen appears.

  3. Allocate the supplements by entering the receiver WBS element and the amount. If the template does not specify it, select the receiver year and. if required, the option to include total values. You can use the Detail function to make changes in the text and long text fields.
