• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GMBAPI115 - Held budget documents are not supported by this BAPI ?

  The SAP error message GMBAPI115 indicates that you are trying to use a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) to process budget documents that are currently held or in a status that does not allow them to be processed. This typically occurs when the budget document is in a status that is not compatible with the operations you are trying to perform through the BAPI.
  Cause:
  
  Held Budget Document: The budget document you are trying to process is in a "held" status, meaning it is not approved or is pending some action.
  BAPI Limitations: The specific BAPI you are using does not support processing of held budget documents. Each BAPI has certain constraints regarding the types of documents it can handle.
  Incorrect Document Status: The document may be in a status that is not valid for the operation you are attempting (e.g., posting, changing, or deleting).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the budget document in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., transaction code FMBB for budget documents) and checking if the document is held or in another non-processable status.
  Release the Document: If the document is held, you may need to release it or change its status to a valid one. This typically involves going through the necessary approval processes or making the required changes to the document.
  Use Appropriate BAPI: Ensure that you are using the correct BAPI for the operation you want to perform. If the BAPI you are using does not support held documents, you may need to find an alternative BAPI that does.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand its limitations and requirements regarding document statuses.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal or the specific BAPI documentation for details on the expected input parameters and the types of documents it can process.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for budget management, such as:
  
  FMBB: Change Budget
  FMBS: Display Budget
  FMBA: Create Budget
