• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCU136 - Budget structure &1 cannot be set as multi-level in FM area &2 ?

  The SAP error message FMCU136 indicates that there is an issue with the budget structure configuration in the Funds Management (FM) module. Specifically, it states that the budget structure you are trying to set cannot be configured as multi-level for the specified FM area.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The budget structure you are trying to use may not be set up correctly in the system. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the configuration of the budget structure.
  Single-Level Structure: The budget structure may be defined as a single-level structure in the system, which does not allow for multi-level configurations.
  FM Area Settings: The FM area settings may not support multi-level budget structures, or there may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the FM area itself.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or restrictions based on other settings in the system that prevent the budget structure from being set as multi-level.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the budget structure in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly to allow for multi-level structures.
  
  Go to the configuration transaction (usually SPRO) and navigate to the Funds Management settings.
  Check the settings for the budget structure and ensure that it is defined as a multi-level structure if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Modify Budget Structure: If the budget structure is currently defined as single-level, you may need to modify it to allow for multi-level configurations.
  
  This may involve creating a new budget structure or adjusting the existing one.
  
  
  
  Review FM Area Settings: Check the settings for the FM area to ensure that it supports multi-level budget structures. You may need to adjust the FM area configuration if necessary.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring budget structures in Funds Management.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the budget structure can now be set as multi-level without errors.

  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the budget structure and FM area settings.
