• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMFEES034 - Only amounts on items not yet posted are changeable ?

  The SAP error message FMFEES034 indicates that you are trying to change the amounts of items that have already been posted in the Funds Management (FM) module. This error typically occurs when you attempt to modify the amounts of budget or commitment items that are already recorded in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that SAP restricts changes to amounts on items that have been posted to ensure data integrity and accurate financial reporting. Once an item is posted, it is considered finalized, and any changes to the amounts would require a different process, such as reversing the original posting.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Item Status: Verify the status of the items you are trying to change. If they are already posted, you will not be able to modify their amounts directly.
  
  
  Reverse the Posting: If you need to change the amounts, you may need to reverse the original posting. This can typically be done using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., FMJ2 for reversing budget postings).
  
  
  Create New Entries: If reversing is not an option or if you want to maintain the original records, consider creating new entries with the correct amounts instead of modifying the existing ones.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific procedures related to your organization's configuration and policies regarding budget changes.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the budget or commitment items.
