• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_AVC011 - More than &4 % budget has been consumed. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_AVC011 indicates that more than a specified percentage of the budget has been consumed for a particular commitment or expense. This is part of the budget control functionality in SAP, which helps organizations manage their financial resources effectively.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a transaction (such as a purchase order, invoice, or commitment) is attempted that would exceed the defined budget limit. The percentage mentioned in the error message (in this case, "&4") represents the threshold set for budget consumption. If the budget consumed exceeds this threshold, the system will block the transaction to prevent overspending.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Budget Consumption:
  
  Check the current budget status for the relevant cost center, internal order, or project. You can do this using transaction codes like S_ALR_87013558 (for budget reports) or S_ALR_87013542 (for commitment reports).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Budget:
  
  If the budget is indeed consumed, you may need to adjust the budget. This can be done through the following:
  
  Increase the Budget: If additional funds are available, you can increase the budget for the relevant cost center or project.
  Reallocate Funds: If there are unutilized budgets in other areas, consider reallocating those funds.
  
  
  
  
  
  Change the Tolerance Level:
  
  If the organization allows for a higher tolerance level for budget consumption, you can adjust the settings in the budget control configuration. This typically requires access to the configuration settings in SAP and should be done in consultation with your finance team.
  
  
  
  Review and Approve Exceptions:
  
  If the transaction is necessary and cannot be avoided, you may need to seek approval for an exception to the budget control. This process may vary depending on your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with your finance or budgeting team for guidance on how to handle the situation.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for budget management, such as CJ30 (for project budgets) or KP06 (for cost center planning).
  Budget Control Configuration: Understanding how budget control is configured in your SAP system can help you manage these situations better. This may involve working with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on budget control and error handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your budget effectively within SAP.
