FI401 - Details

• The SAP error message FI401, which states "Expenditure budget addresses are different," typically occurs in the context of budgetary control in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.

  Cause:
  
  Different Budget Addresses: The expenditure you are trying to post is linked to a different budget address than the one defined in the budget control settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The budget configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to mismatches in the budget addresses.
  Multiple Budget Versions: If there are multiple budget versions or scenarios, the system may be trying to reference a budget that does not match the expenditure address.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when inputting cost centers, internal orders, or other budget-related fields can lead to this issue.
