Internal Orders: Active Availability Control
Description
The active availability control functions can promptly identify whether the commitments posted to the order exceed the budget allocated and notify the user accordingly.
If you post actual costs or commitments to a budgeted order, for example, the system checks whether the predefined tolerance limits for this order have been exceeded by the posting.
If so, the system issues either a warning message (with or without a mail to the budget manager) or an error message rejecting the account assignment.
Change system parameters in customizing
You must make the following settings in Customizing:
- Specify tolerance limits below and above the budget to be taken into account in availability control.
Proceed- Specify exempt cost elements not to be taken into account in availability control.
- Define budget managers to be informed that the tolerance has been exceeded.
