  The obligation was modified after the initial entry, affecting the open quantity.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry when trying to cancel the obligation can lead to this error. For example, entering a higher cancellation quantity than what is available.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Open Quantity: Verify the current open quantity for the obligation in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP and checking the details of the obligation.
  
  
  Adjust Cancellation Quantity: If the open quantity is indeed less than what you are trying to cancel, adjust the cancellation quantity to match the open quantity. You can only cancel up to the amount that is still open.
  
  
  Review Previous Transactions: Look into previous transactions related to the obligation to see if there were any partial cancellations or adjustments that might have affected the open quantity.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the quantities or if there are discrepancies, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure that the obligations and cancellations are being managed correctly.
  
  
  System Configuration: In some cases, the issue might be related to system configuration or settings. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to involve your SAP support team to check for any configuration issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FMAVCR01 (for checking commitments) or FMZ1 (for creating obligations) to help you navigate the system effectively.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to the Public Sector Management module for more detailed information on managing obligations and cancellations.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to view and modify obligations in the system, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
