Hello Sammar,
Your answer is very logical. I tested it. However, the system does not consider network orders as project orders! which is strange. The when I omit the transaction group 02 "Project Orders" and left all the rest, the system behavior in budgeting did not change "stayed the same as mentioned before" for budgeting with network activities.
This got me thinking to omit the transaction group 06 "Budgeting" and leave all the rest. When I did so, the problem was kind of solved, but not completely. The system behavior was extremely strange this time:- see example
Example:
Object Plan Budget Release Assigned
WBS1 $11000 $12000 $3000 $11000
Activity 1 $4500
Activity 2 $6500
Status AVAC was active
When posting an invoice [FB60] on activity 1, the posting was not restricted by the $3000. The posting limit was open up till the $4500 limit of the activity.
When posting subsequently to Activity 2, the same thing happened (6500 rather than 3000). And also when I posted the full amount, the system didn't issue the warning message "Budget Exhausted". More to it, the system didn't issue any messages in any cases except the "Budget Exceeded" message which is unexpected because my tolerance limits were:
Repeated for all transaction groups except 06 "Budgeting"
Usage 1 90%
Usage 2 95%
Usage 4 100%
When I tried to post 5000 to activity 1, the system issued the message "budget exceeded by $6500" which is really weird.
That was the result of the summation of the excess of assigned value than the budget release (4500 - 3000 = 1500) + the posting amount 5000 which was considered as a whole as excess = 6500
Please try out this scenario and give me your opinion, and if this got us any closer to the answer.
