  The SAP error message FM716 typically relates to issues in the Funds Management (FM) module, specifically concerning budget availability and the dunning process. The message indicates that there is a problem with the account, level, due amount, and minimum percentage amount, as well as the number of dunning levels.
  Cause:
  
  
  Budget Availability: The error often arises when there is insufficient budget available for the transaction you are trying to process. This can happen if the budget has already been consumed or if the budget is not properly allocated.
  
  
  Dunning Configuration: The error may also indicate that the dunning levels are not correctly configured. If the system is trying to apply dunning to an account that does not meet the required criteria (like minimum percentage amount or number of dunning levels), it will trigger this error.

  Adjust Transaction Parameters:
  
  Review the parameters of the transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that they meet the requirements set in the dunning configuration.
