How To Fix FMCE009 - Annual budget almost exhausted for several document items

FMCE009 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMCE - Cover Eligibility Messages

• Message number: 009

• Message text: Annual budget almost exhausted for several document items

What causes this issue?

The current budget consumption is &V2& less than the annual budget for
several document items from item &V1& onward. Budget control on outgoing
amounts (<DS:DE.BUAVC_CEILTYPE>ceiling type</> <ZK>Expenditures</>) has
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&</>
