Hi expert,
Where can i find a report that gives me the open PO commitment, without any account assignment on the PO?
Meaning it is a warehouse material, but at the end of the period, I need to know wha`t is my commitment, and compare that to my budget.
I know I can get this information at the time of goods receipt, but my point is that I haven`t received the goods yet, and need to know what are my commitments.
I hope I was clear.
Thanks
Fotso

Hi,
Since purchasing for stock createds no commitment in CO, you have to use logistic reports. ME2K/ME2M/ME2L, for example.

I am not an FI/CO expert, but I would imagine a plant or a storage location is linked to a cost center. Therefore when there is a GR for a stock PO, the quantity and value goes to a GL and that Cost Center (FS00).
For the plant, there is some budget for stock purchasing. There is no way to have a report in FI/CO that will compare the open PO's with the budget at the end of a period (month, year)? in order to know what is already commited?
In MM I will only get part of the information, meaning the commitment, but not the other part, the budget.

Hi,
When you purchase to stock (and this is the situation, if I understood correctly), the G/L account is a balance sheet account and it has no cost element. Therefore, no CO document (commitment) is created. Also, when you get a GR, there is no document in CO, no profit&loss account is involved.
Storage location is not linked to cost centre, as it is not a cost collector entity.

Hi Eli,
So how come when I look the material document generated by the system at the time of GR, in the document list in accounting, I see an accounting document and a controlling document?
When I open the accounting document, I see 2 GL accounts, and when I open the controlling document, I see the cost center number.
Is there s configuration that allows this and that is not standard?

Well, generally if you buy to stock, it should be balance sheet account, since it is not a cost, but rather an investment. When you issue your goods, only then it becomes a cost and should be posted on P&L.
Anyway, if it is P&L in your case and you have CO document, why don't you use this report S_ALR_87013648 ?
Hi,
You should look at commitment line items and not at actual (equivalent to KSB2 report). If it's not defined as a drill down report (and it's not by standard), you can add it in the report group via GR52 (report group 1SET). Push on 'Configure' button in 'Report/Report interface' section, select an option to add another report, select other type of report and choose the transaction I mentioned above.

Eli
Hi Eli,
When i do exactly what you mentioned above, the system just add a new report which is "Range: Actual/Budget/Commitments
", which comes to the tcode.
So the drill-down lead me to the tcode again.
When I pressed "Configure" in the section Report/report interface, I saw there was already the receiver report "Cost Center: Actual Line Items".
So I guess I should add something similar to "Cost Center: Commitment Line Items". How can I do that?
Thank you
Fotso
No, maybe you misunderstood.
On my PO, there is no account assignment category. Meaning I don't enter any cost center. But the cost center is derived from the GL determined for the material (FS00????).
On my commitment report, I wanted to see all open PO's for that cost center.
PLease let me know if you understand.
Fotso.
Great! So, when you execute the report fill this cost centre as parameter...
Does this PO to stock creates a CO document or not? Go to the PO and click on the 'Environment - AC Commitments'. If it does, then you will be able to see them in financial report. If it does not, which is the case in all the projects I took part, then go to logistic reports as I suggested in the first place or create your own combining the data from the budget and logistic tables.
