year (or if applicable, fiscal year and year of cash effectivity) and
original budget address:

Depending on the transaction you are using, you have at least one of the
following options:
Choose another budget address, if you want to assign a budget address in
the transaction "Process Single RIB Rule" (transaction
<DS:TRAN.FMRBRULE>FMRBRULE</>).
If this invalid object assignment already exists, then you can also try
to remove it by starting the transaction "Reconstruct Index for RIB"
(transaction <DS:TRAN.FMRBIDXREC>FMRBIDXREC</>) in productive mode.
Change the <DS:SIMG.FMBCS_FMRBDERIRO>derivation strategy for RIB objects
</>: if necessary, you can exclude the budget address from being
