• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD264 - 'Budget-Relevant' setting does not support the AVC for revenue accounts. ?

  The SAP error message PSM_S4C_FM_MD264, which states that the 'Budget-Relevant' setting does not support the AVC (Availability Control) for revenue accounts, typically arises in the context of Public Sector Management (PSM) or Fund Management (FM) in SAP. This error indicates that there is a configuration issue related to how budget control is set up for revenue accounts.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The revenue account in question is likely configured in a way that does not support budget control. In SAP, certain accounts are designated as budget-relevant, while others are not. Revenue accounts typically do not have budget control applied in the same way as expense accounts.
  Account Type: The account type may not be set up correctly in the chart of accounts or in the budget control settings. Revenue accounts are generally not expected to have budget availability control.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type being used may not be compatible with the budget control settings for revenue accounts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Account Configuration: Check the configuration of the revenue account in the chart of accounts. Ensure that it is not marked as budget-relevant if it should not be.
  
  Go to the transaction code OBD4 (for account determination) and verify the settings for the revenue account.
  
  
  Adjust Budget Control Settings: If the revenue account is incorrectly set as budget-relevant, you may need to adjust the settings in the budget control configuration.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for budget control in the Public Sector Management module and ensure that revenue accounts are excluded from AVC.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the implications of changing the budget relevance of accounts.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
