SAGE X3 PURCHASE REQUEST - BUDGET VISIBILITY

SOLVED


REQUIREMENT:

  1. When users approve a PR, they need to see the Budget, actual amount used and pre-commitments. This provides them with a better view to make purchasing decisions. 
  2. They need to see this on the workflow monitor / the purchase request (can be seen on line level on Website) / mobile link for approvals.


BUSINESS CASE:

  1. We have 23 companies.
    1. Each company has their own chart of accounts,
    2. Each company has their own budgets and different estimate versions
    3. Each company has their own approvers
  2. Purchase request is raised and approved on a line level.
  3. Each purchase request is linked to a GL account.
  4. Budgets and estimates are loaded on a GL level.
  5. Users approve PR's on the workflow monitor, the purchase request line or the mobile web link for X3.
  6. When approving on the workflow monitor, approvers need to see the
    1. budget amount,
    2. actual amount, and
    3. precommitments for the specific company / request line.

Noticed the following:

  • A general parameter BUDCTLPSL PR line budget control, but i can happen that a GL does not have a budget, but a PR needs to be created. This parameter will then not work.

Noticed a similar question has been asked on the link, but no one shared insights:
