  The SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG661 indicates that there is an attempt to distribute funds to a specific fund (denoted by &1) as of a certain execution date (denoted by &2), but a distribution for that fund and date already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of budget management or fund distribution processes within SAP's Public Sector Management (PSM) module.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Distribution Attempt: The most common cause of this error is that a distribution for the specified fund and execution date has already been processed. This could happen if:
  
  The same distribution was executed multiple times.
  There was an error in the process that led to a duplicate entry.
  A user or process is trying to re-run a distribution that has already been completed.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Execution Date: If the execution date is not correctly set or if it is mistakenly set to a date for which a distribution already exists, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Distributions: 
  
  Review the existing distributions for the specified fund and execution date. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., using transaction codes like FMBB for budget management).
  Look for any entries that match the fund and execution date in question.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Entry: 
  
  If you find that a distribution already exists and it is incorrect or needs to be modified, you may need to delete or adjust the existing entry before attempting to create a new distribution.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Change Execution Date: 
  
  If the execution date is not critical, consider changing it to a date that does not conflict with existing distributions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling fund distributions to ensure compliance with processes.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
