  The SAP error message FMUP141 indicates that an update on a goods receipt could potentially lead to budget overruns in the context of Funds Management (FM). This error typically arises when the system detects that the financial commitment associated with the goods receipt exceeds the available budget for the relevant fund or cost center.
  Cause:
  
  Budget Limit Exceeded: The most common cause is that the goods receipt being processed would cause the total commitments to exceed the available budget for the specified fund or cost center.
  Incorrect Budgeting: There may be an issue with how the budget was set up, such as incorrect budget amounts or budget periods.
  Commitment Management: The system may be configured to track commitments strictly, and the goods receipt is being treated as a commitment against the budget.
  Purchase Order Issues: If the purchase order associated with the goods receipt has a value that exceeds the budget, this can trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Budget Availability: Check the budget availability for the relevant fund or cost center. You can do this using transaction codes like FMAVCR01 (Budget Availability Control) to see if there is sufficient budget to cover the goods receipt.

  Check Purchase Order: Review the associated purchase order to ensure that it is correctly set up and that the amounts are within the budget limits.
