• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_AVC108 - The warning tolerance is greater than or equal to the error tolerance. ?

  The SAP error message FCO_AVC108 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the tolerance settings for the availability control (AVC) in the system. Specifically, it means that the warning tolerance is set to be greater than or equal to the error tolerance, which is not a valid configuration.
  Cause:
  In SAP, availability control is used to monitor budget consumption and ensure that spending does not exceed predefined limits. The error message arises when:
  
  The warning tolerance (the threshold at which a warning is issued) is set to a value that is equal to or greater than the error tolerance (the threshold at which an error is triggered).
  This configuration is logically incorrect because the warning should always occur before the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the tolerance settings in the configuration. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the configuration for availability control. This is typically found under:
  SPRO -> IMG -> Controlling -> Budgeting -> Availability Control -> Define Tolerance Limits
  
  
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings:
  
  Locate the settings for the relevant budget or controlling area.
  Check the values set for both the warning tolerance and the error tolerance.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  Ensure that the warning tolerance is set to a value that is less than the error tolerance. For example, if the error tolerance is set to 10%, the warning tolerance should be set to a value less than 10% (e.g., 5%).
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the adjustments, perform a test to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the availability control functions as expected.
