  Exceeding Budget: The charge you are trying to process is greater than the available budget or fund assets. This can happen if:
  
  The budget has not been properly allocated or is insufficient.
  There are other outstanding commitments or expenses that have not been accounted for, which reduces the available balance.
  The charge amount was incorrectly entered or calculated.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Fund Assignment: The charge may be assigned to a fund that does not have sufficient assets.
  
  
  Timing Issues: If the budget is not yet available for the period in which the charge is being processed, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fund Availability: Review the fund and budget allocations to ensure that there are sufficient assets to cover the charge. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant fund management reports in SAP to check the available budget.
  Verifying that the budget has been properly released and is available for use.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Charge: If the charge amount is incorrect, adjust it to ensure it does not exceed the available fund assets.
  
  
  Reallocate Budget: If necessary, consider reallocating budget from other areas or increasing the budget for the fund in question, if permissible.
  
  
  Review Commitments: Check for any outstanding commitments that may not have been accounted for, which could be affecting the available balance.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the budget allocations or how to proceed, consult with your finance or budget management team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like FMAVCR01 (Display Budget Availability) or FMBB (Budgeting) to check budget availability and make necessary adjustments.
