• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GMRB101 - FM receivers not allowed for unreleased/released scenario ?

  The SAP error message GMRB101 indicates that there is an issue with the use of FM (Funds Management) receivers in a scenario where the document is either unreleased or released. This error typically arises in the context of budget management and funds allocation within SAP, particularly when dealing with budgetary control.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to post a transaction that involves FM receivers (such as cost centers, internal orders, etc.) in a scenario where the budget is not yet released or is in an unreleased state. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Budget Not Released: The budget for the relevant fiscal year or period has not been released, preventing any postings against it.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for FM or budget control may not allow for certain types of postings in unreleased scenarios.
  Document Status: The document you are trying to post may be in a status that does not permit the use of FM receivers.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GMRB101 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Release the Budget: Ensure that the budget for the relevant period is released. This can typically be done through the transaction code FMBB (Budgeting) or FMAVCR01 (Budget Release).
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Funds Management module to ensure that the settings allow for the use of FM receivers in the desired scenarios. This may involve checking the settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under:
  
  Public Sector Management > Funds Management > Budget Control System > Define Budget Control System.
  
  
  
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the document you are trying to post. If it is in a status that does not allow for FM receiver postings, you may need to change the status or correct the document.
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about the configuration or how to release the budget, consult with your SAP administrator or a consultant who specializes in SAP Funds Management.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  FMBB: Budgeting
  FMAVCR01: Budget Release
  FMX1: Create Budget
  FMX2: Change Budget
  FMX3: Display Budget
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Funds Management to understand the implications of budget control and the use of FM receivers.
  
  
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform budget releases and postings in the Funds Management module.
