How To Fix FMKU083 - The budget amount is not sufficient for release

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMKU - FM budgeting, kernel utilities

• Message number: 083

• Message text: The budget amount is not sufficient for release

What causes this issue?

The &V4& released budget is greater than the &V4& consumable budget for
FM account assignment &V1&.
<ZH>Note</> that the absolute value of the amount is specified. Even if
the actual amount is negative, the comparison is always made with the
positive value.
Total released budget = Released budget to be posted by the current
document + Released budget already in the database.
Total budget = Budget to be posted by the current document + Budget
already in the database.
(Absolute) Total &V4& released budget =,,&V2&
(Absolute) Total &V4& consumable budget = ,,&V3&
Important Note Concerning the Release on Period
The document to be created includes the amount on the period but the
check "Release Against Budget" nevertheless covers the amounts for the
whole fiscal year.
Example:
Released budget on period 10 = 100
Budget on period 10 = 600
So, unreleased budget on period 10 = 500
However, the release cannot be carried out because of the following
totals scenario:
Total Released Budget over the fiscal year = 980
Total Budget over the fiscal year = 1000
Since adding 980 to 500 results in a total of more than 1000, no release
is possible. Error message FMKU083 is displayed and the values in the
long text are:
(Absolute) Total released budget = 1480
(Absolute) Total budget = 1000

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMKU083 - The budget amount is not sufficient for release ?

  The SAP error message FMKU083, which states "The budget amount is not sufficient for release," typically occurs in the context of budget management within the SAP system, particularly in the Funds Management (FM) module.
