B2R 202 · RAIL 2 · PROJECT / CAPITAL
How does B2R control project and capital spend?
Use PS WBS and network-referenced evidence when project or capital spend needs object-specific control.
B2R ROLE
Add project or capital control without leaving B2R
Rail 2 is the B2R project/capital extension. It keeps approved authority, release where used, commitments, actuals, settlement or capitalization, and reporting action visible at the project object level.
WORKING FLOW
Keep the B2R question in front
Use the specialist object only where the rail needs it; the B2R page keeps authority, consumption, close evidence, and reporting connected.
Select the project control object
Choose the WBS or execution object that owns budget responsibility, cost collection, settlement, and reporting.
Connect authority to consumption
Track approved budget, release where applicable, commitments, actuals, availability results, and approved changes.
Reconcile settlement or capitalization
Preserve the handoff to B2A, R2R, or PS detail without losing the B2R budget-position story.
DIAGNOSTIC EVIDENCE
What proves the rail is under control?
Preserve the B2R evidence trail even when the specialist module owns detailed execution.
Project, WBS, network where used, owner, status, organization, period, currency, and account assignment.
Approved authority, release where applicable, commitments, actuals, transfers, supplements, returns, and available amount.
Settlement, capitalization handoff, variance, forecast implication, report action, and accountable owner.
RAIL MOMENT
A capital project starts consuming budget
The WBS budget is approved, procurement creates commitments, actuals arrive through invoices or activity, and settlement or capitalization evidence must reconcile before management trusts the project position.
- Authority and consumption remain separate
- The owning object stays visible
- Close and reporting evidence reconcile
