Distribution rules and projects (automatic checks)

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have 2 issues concerning the distribution rules:

1- Are we able to implement an automatic control which does not allow bookings without distribution rules? The

control already exists for booking which we'll be entered manually. But for automatically generated postings

is not always in place. For example by closing a production order when the appropriate distribution rule is

missing in the BOM.

2- Additional for projects: Either the distribution rule which is defined in the project master data should be

proposed automatically and/or only the defined distribution rule is allowed for any bookings. This is mainly

necessary for invoices which are registered only in SAP and not in PM (for example sales commission invoices,

transport costs etc.). There people often use distribution rules which are not suitable.

With kind regards,

Bravska !

Hi

for the first: you can use the Transaction Notification to this. You have to modify the code and when you add a journal entry with transtype = 30 check if the record has distribution rule. If it is not, show the error message.

for the second: you can add an UDF in documents to identify if the document must have Project and distribution rule. If this field value is "Y", you can write a FMS to solve this situation.

Kind regards.
