  The SAP error message PFM_1252 indicates that there are commitments associated with a contract that are greater than zero. This typically occurs in the context of Public Sector Management (PSM) or Contract Management within SAP, where commitments represent the financial obligations that have been incurred but not yet paid.
  Cause:
  
  Open Commitments: The contract has open commitments that have not been fully settled or cleared. This means that there are still financial obligations tied to the contract.

  Review Commitments: Check the commitments associated with the contract. You can do this by navigating to the contract in question and reviewing the commitment details.
  Clear Commitments: If the commitments are no longer needed, you may need to clear them. This can involve processing payments, adjusting entries, or closing out the commitments.
