  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or need to change the settings, consult with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for the FM module in your organization. They can provide insights into whether the configuration can be changed or if there are specific reasons for the restriction.
  
  
  
  Review Budget Control Settings:
  
  Check the overall budget control settings in your organization to ensure that they align with the intended use of commitment items.
