Hi,

I have enabled Project Budget Control settings as below for the Project and setup the Project Budget Control consumption checkpoint as Create Purchase Requisition Line. When I created a project supply request that exceeding the budget it does not block creation of the Purchase Requisition. 

But when I tried Create Purchase order line and Release Purchase order line as consumption check point this budget control option is working.

Is there any reason for this?

Hi ​@IniVismiM,

You can refer Enabling Project Budget Control | IFS Community to check whether you are missing something.

Basically, when using Control As Budgeted, it checks budgeted amount against the Activity and the CRE. If the system cannot find a match, the control is not enforced.

Morning, I’ve followed that PDF above and it is very useful thank you. However we work on projects that are constantly moving, I love the warning on cost element but I feel there should be an option for us to switch between warning or block. If a project manager gets a warning but is already aware he is overspending this is fine. A hard stop forcing a support ticket is not something we can currently utilise

Is this something that is or could be considered for future development? 

 

Also for this to work perfectly for us, if someone was to select a cost element that was not part of the original budget (accidentally normally) this ideally should also throw a warning, consumption not budgeted should definitly be considered.
