• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_AVC117 - The warning tolerance is greater than or equal to the error tolerance. ?

  The SAP error message FCO_AVC117 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the tolerance settings in the Availability Control (AVC) functionality. Specifically, this error occurs when the warning tolerance is set to be greater than or equal to the error tolerance, which is not a valid configuration.
  Cause:
  In the context of Availability Control, the system uses two types of tolerances:
  
  Warning Tolerance: This is the threshold at which a warning is issued, indicating that the budget is approaching its limit.
  Error Tolerance: This is the threshold at which an error is raised, preventing further postings or transactions.
  
  The error message FCO_AVC117 arises when the configuration settings for these tolerances are incorrect, specifically when:
  
  The warning tolerance is set to a value that is greater than or equal to the error tolerance.
  
  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 following path: SPRO -> IMG -> Public Sector Management -> Budget Control System -> Define Tolerance Limits.
  
  
  
  Check Tolerance Settings:
  
  Locate the settings for the relevant budget or commitment item.
  Review 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 transaction to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the system behaves as expected.
