FMRB199 - Details

• The SAP error message FMRB199 ("RIB rule already defined for the selected budget address") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Funds Management module, particularly when dealing with budgetary control and the assignment of rules for budget addresses.
  
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a RIB (Resource Integration and Budgeting) rule for a budget address that already has a rule defined.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing RIB Rules:
  
  Navigate to the transaction code where you are trying to define the RIB rule (e.g., transaction code FMX1 for creating RIB rules).
  Check if there is already a RIB rule defined for the budget address
