• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMEUF005 - Time slice is used with an expenditure ceiling not equal to zero ?

  The SAP error message FMEUF005 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a time slice in the context of budget management. Specifically, it occurs when a time slice is being used with an expenditure ceiling that is not equal to zero. This typically arises in the context of budgetary control in SAP, particularly when dealing with funds management.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  A time slice is defined for a budget period, but the expenditure ceiling (the maximum amount that can be spent during that period) is set to a value other than zero.
  The system expects that if a time slice is defined, the expenditure ceiling should be zero, indicating that there is no limit on expenditures for that slice.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Time Slice Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the time slice in question. This can typically be found in the Funds Management (FM) module.
  Ensure that the expenditure ceiling for the time slice is set to zero if you intend to use it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Expenditure Ceiling:
  
  If you need to maintain a non-zero expenditure ceiling, consider whether you need to adjust the time slice configuration or the budget settings to align with your requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Budget Settings:
  
  Check the overall budget settings for the relevant cost center, internal order, or project to ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for the intended expenditures.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to Funds Management and time slice configuration for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
