FMFG814 - Details

• The SAP error message FMFG814 indicates that a particular Purchase Requisition (PR) cannot be deleted or changed because it affects the commitments in the system. This typically occurs in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module, where commitments are tracked to ensure that budgetary constraints are adhered to.
  
  Cause:
  
  Existing Commitments: The PR is linked to existing commitments in the system. When a PR is created, it may create a commitment against a budget, and any changes or deletions to the PR could affect the financial commitments already recorded.
  Budget Availability: If the PR is tied to a budget that has already been committed, SAP prevents changes to ensure that the financial integrity of the budget is maintained.
  Document Status: The PR may be in a status that does not allow for changes or deletions, such as being part of an ongoing procurement process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Commitments: Review the commitments associated with the PR. You
