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

Transaction Group

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

You can store an action for the system to execute for a business transaction that triggers too many allotted funds.

For more information, see Availability Control Actions.

For the following transaction groups, you can specify tolerance limits for each budget profile, for the different actions. To do so, go to Customizing and choose:

For internal orders, Controlling ® Internal Orders ® Budgeting and Availability Control ® Specify Tolerance Limits For Availability Control.

For projects, Project System Õ Costs Õ Budget Õ Specify Tolerance Limits.

All transaction groups

This general transaction group is designed to facilitate your entries, and is useful if you do not want to define separate tolerance limits for each transaction group. In addition to a tolerance limit defined for All transaction groups, you can specify a limit for one transaction group. This limit takes precedence over the "generally" valid tolerance limit. The tolerance limit and action specified for all transaction groups is thus ignored if there are additional entries for a special transaction group.

Purchase requisition

Purchase order

Orders for the project
When planning on an order for a project, the system checks the change to the rest of the plan for the order. It also checks the assignment and detachment of an order/network that already has assigned values, using this transaction group.

Postings to orders for the project are checked in each transaction group, for example, the purchase order from an order for the project is checked in the Purchase order transaction group.

Controlling document

Budgeting
During the life cycle of a project, the budget may be reduced, although allotted funds have already arisen on the project. You need this transaction group to enable the availability control to include subsequent budget changes.
If this means that the allotted funds exceed a tolerance limit in availability control, the system tells you to see the error log when you make checks or save. The log contains the warnings or error messages that were issued as a result of the tolerance limit being exceeded.
