Request For Budget Increase In The Intranet (SAP Library

Request For Budget Increase In The Intranet

Use

You want to apply for a budget increase for an order, network, network activity, or a WBS element.

You do not know who approves this operation.

Features

There are two different scenarios:

Request for budget increase (scenario SR61)
The form is sent to a processor, who changes the budget and
executes the budget transactions in the R/3 System.

Request for budget with approval (scenario SR62)
The form is sent to an approving manager,
who is determined as follows:

If you enter an approving manager, then they receive a message.
Otherwise, the budget manager or WBS manager stored in Customizing receives the message.
If you did not enter an approving manager and do not have any budget or WBS manager in Customizing, then the role determines the approving manager.

The manager approves the request. The request processor receives a message via the role determined in Customizing, and via workflow.
For more information on Customizing scenarios, see the implementation guide (IMG) under Cross-Application Components Õ Internet / Intranet Services Õ Internal Service Request Õ Definition of Scenarios Õ Define Scenarios or in the SAP-Library under Cross-Application Components Õ Internal Service Request.

Form for the budget increase request without approval

The form for the request that requires approval is different in that the Processed by field is replaced by the Approved by field.

Activities

You (the person entering the request) call up the internal service request from the LaunchPad in the mySAP.com Workplace via Create internal service request.

Initial screen for an internal service request

You select the form Request for budget increase.

You (the person entering or initiating the request) enter an object, the required budget increase, and the required currency in the form.

The system determines the approving manager or the processor of the notification as required.

The request is forwarded to the approving manager or the processor.

The applicant often specifies the object to which they want to post costs to be included in the active availability control. Examples of this are plan data, actual costs or commitments.
The object that actually carries budget (and may be different than the specified object) may be unknown or not of interest to the applicant.
