• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GENFM_MENA010 - The only documents allowed are reservations and precommitments ?

  The SAP error message GENFM_MENA010 indicates that the system is configured to only allow certain types of documents, specifically reservations and precommitments, in the context of the Funds Management (FM) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to create or process a document that is not permitted under the current settings.
  Cause:
  
  Document Type Restriction: The system is set up to restrict the types of documents that can be processed in a specific context (e.g., budgetary control).
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the Funds Management module may be set to only allow reservations and precommitments, which means other document types (like purchase orders or invoices) are not permitted.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or process the document type they are attempting to use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Type: Ensure that the document you are trying to create or process is indeed a reservation or precommitment. If it is not, you will need to create the appropriate document type.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the Funds Management settings to see if the document type restrictions can be modified. This may involve:
  
  Accessing the configuration for Funds Management (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigating to the relevant settings for document types and budgetary control.
  
  
  User Authorization: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or process the intended document type. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists and you believe the configuration is correct, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further assistance.
