Maintenance budget

1) Hi, I just see some desperate attempt to know about maintenace budget and control but I hope can clear you all.  Budget and control of order can be done to all the order type of sap pm orders functional background

As we know when creating equipment in maintenance master data we are using two work centeres one is location work center and the other one is responsibile work center.  The location work center describes the line or area or section of production the equipment belongs and in the order the work center we maintain it maintains the cost per activity we define.
Suppose our maintenance team goes and do some work, say for two hours, so for this activity type what is defined in the controlling will be debited from the production line or section or area as it is maintained in pp.  Of cousre when we settle the order and at the same time from the budget that much of fund deducted

Integration Part
a) actually this is done by co people
b) go to trans koab
c) tick the commit management in control indicators
    maintain co-partner as semi active
    you can maintain other things as maintaenance status and settlement profile
d) you should maintain object class as overhead costs orif you have service module you can do profitably analysis
e) you must maintain collective order without automatic goods movement
f) you can maintain status profile as your wish
g) for residence time i amintaied one month

2) then you have to maintain budget profile
    for maintaining budget profile you have to goto trs ok0b
    crate a budhet profile these are co people job

3) go to oioa here you assign budget profile to order type

4) in mantain budget profile 
     time frame -past means how many years past you can  plan here start year is the referenace point 
     same with future
     you must tick total values
     annual values
     exchange rate should be m-standard  translation at average rate
     activation type should be 1-automaticactivated when budget allocation done
     budgeting  currency-i choose controlling currency

5) then go to ko22 and assign the budget profile to order or group of order

This is the way I maintain budget for pm orders.
