  Enter a valid version number. If you are unsure which version to use, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or refer to your organization's documentation regarding budget versions.
  
  
  
  Check Version Configuration: If you are not aware of the available versions, you can check the configuration in the Funds Management module to see which versions are defined and their purposes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are still unsure, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are using. This may provide additional context on how to select or create a version.
