• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMMA003 - Percentage time horizon must be smaller or equal to time horizon &1 ?

  The SAP error message FMMA003 indicates that there is an issue with the percentage time horizon in a financial management context, specifically related to the planning or budgeting process. The error message states that the percentage time horizon must be smaller than or equal to the specified time horizon (&1).
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to set a percentage time horizon that exceeds the defined time horizon for a particular planning scenario. The time horizon is the period over which you are planning or budgeting, and the percentage time horizon is a subset of that period. If the percentage time horizon is set to a value greater than the overall time horizon, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Time Horizon Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration or planning transaction in SAP.
  Verify the defined time horizon (e.g., fiscal year, planning period) and ensure that it is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Percentage Time Horizon:
  
  Review the percentage time horizon you are trying to set.
  Ensure that it is less than or equal to the overall time horizon. For example, if your time horizon is set to 12 months, your percentage time horizon should be 12 months or less.
  
  
  
  Modify Planning Parameters:
  
  If necessary, adjust the planning parameters or settings in the relevant planning application to ensure that the percentage time horizon aligns with the overall time horizon.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the planning application you are using, as the steps may vary depending on the module (e.g., SAP Controlling, SAP Financial Planning).
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the planning process can proceed as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the specific module you are working with, you may need to use different transaction codes to access planning settings (e.g., KP06 for cost center planning, or other relevant transaction codes).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to planning settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant SAP module.
