• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_AVC013 - Not enough budget available. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_AVC013: Not enough budget available typically occurs in the context of budget control within the Public Sector Management (PSM) module or when using Funds Management (FM) in SAP. This error indicates that a transaction is attempting to exceed the available budget for a specific fund or cost center.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Budget: The most common cause is that the budget allocated for a particular fund, cost center, or project has been exhausted or is insufficient to cover the transaction being processed.
  Budget Control Settings: The budget control settings may be configured to prevent any overspending, which means that even if there is a small amount of budget left, it may not be enough to cover the transaction.
  Incorrect Budget Period: The budget period may not be correctly set, leading to the system not recognizing available funds.
  Commitments and Actuals: Existing commitments and actual expenditures may have already consumed the available budget, leaving no room for new transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Budget Availability: Check the budget availability for the relevant fund or cost center. You can do this using transaction codes like FMAVCR01 (Budget Availability Control) or FMBB (Budgeting).
  Adjust Budget: If necessary, increase the budget for the relevant fund or cost center. This can be done through budget adjustments or reallocations.
  Check Commitments: Review any existing commitments that may be consuming the budget. If there are commitments that are no longer needed, consider releasing them.
  Change Control Settings: If appropriate, you may need to adjust the budget control settings to allow for more flexibility in spending, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with organizational policies.
  Correct Budget Period: Ensure that the transaction is being processed in the correct budget period. If the budget is not valid for the current period, it may need to be adjusted.
  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 budget constraints.
  
  Related Information:
