• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_AVC_PS201 - Couldn't import data. Don't restrict budget to specific company codes. ?

  The SAP error message FCO_AVC_PS201 typically indicates an issue related to budget control in the context of Project System (PS) and Availability Control (AVC). This error occurs when there is an attempt to import data related to budget management, but the system is unable to process it due to restrictions on budget assignments to specific company codes.
  Cause:
  
  Budget Control Settings: The error often arises when the budget is set up in a way that restricts it to specific company codes, but the transaction or data import is trying to access or manipulate budget data that is not aligned with these restrictions.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling area or budget structure that do not allow for the import of data across different company codes.
  Data Inconsistencies: The data being imported may not match the expected format or may contain inconsistencies that prevent successful processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Budget Control Settings: Check the configuration of the budget control settings in the Project System. Ensure that the budget is not restricted to specific company codes if you intend to import data that spans multiple codes.
  Adjust Import Data: If the data being imported is meant for multiple company codes, ensure that the budget is set up to allow for this. You may need to modify the budget structure or the data being imported.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that the user performing the import has the necessary authorizations to access and modify budget data across the relevant company codes.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to budget control and availability control for any specific guidelines or updates that may pertain to your version of SAP.
  Testing: If changes are made to the configuration or data, conduct tests in a development or quality assurance environment before applying changes in production.
