FMCE008 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMCE - Cover Eligibility Messages

• Message number: 008

• Message text: Annual budget exceeded by &2 for several document items from item &1 on

What causes this issue?

The annual budget is exceeded by &V2& for several document items from
item &V1& onward. Budget control on outgoing amounts (
<DS:DE.BUAVC_CEILTYPE>ceiling type</> <ZK>Expenditures</>) raised this
message for the budget address <ZH>&V3&</> (= <ZK>first-level control
object</>) without considering the cover eligibility rule that exists
for this budget address.
Although at this point the system checks availability on the level of
the budget address, an automatic cover eligibility rule was found. This
rule ultimately decides whether sufficient budget is available for
posting, if the present message has not been raised as an <SE><LS>Error
</></>.
The corresponding cover eligibility rule is determined by the following
combination of availability control ledger, fiscal year (and if
applicable, <DS:DE.FM_CEFFYEAR_BCS>year of cash effectivity</>) and
<ZK>second-level control object </>(<DS:DE.FMCE_CVRGRP>cover group</>
and if applicable, the <DS:DE.GM_GRANT_NBR>grant</>):
<ZH>&V4&</>
DEFINE &N& = '008'
