  The SAP error message RE140, which states "Amount overrun not allowed in fund &," typically occurs in the context of Public Sector Management (PSM) or Fund Management (FM) within SAP. This error indicates that a financial transaction is attempting to exceed the budget or available funds allocated to a specific fund or cost center.
  Cause:
  
  Budget Exceeded: The most common cause of this error is that the transaction amount exceeds the budget that has been allocated for the specific fund or cost center.
  Fund Management Settings: The settings in the Fund Management module may not allow for over-expenditure, which is often a configuration to ensure fiscal responsibility.
  Incorrect Fund Assignment: The fund or cost center may not be correctly assigned to the transaction, leading to discrepancies in available budget.
  Posting Period Issues: The transaction may be attempted in a posting period that is closed or not open for budget consumption.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Budget Availability: Review the budget assigned to the fund or cost center to ensure that there are sufficient funds available for the transaction. You can do this by using transaction codes like FMAVCR01 or FMAVCR02 to analyze budget consumption.
  Adjust the Transaction Amount: If the budget is indeed insufficient, consider reducing the transaction amount to fit within the available budget.
  Reallocate Funds: If possible, reallocate funds from other areas or increase the budget for the fund or cost center in question, following the appropriate approval processes.
  Review Fund Management Settings: Check the configuration settings in the Fund Management module to see if over-expenditure is allowed. If necessary, consult with your SAP administrator or financial controller to adjust these settings.
  Correct Fund Assignment: Ensure that the correct fund or cost center is assigned to the transaction. This may involve reviewing the master data or transaction details.
  Open Posting Period: Verify that the posting period is open for the transaction. If it is closed, you may need to open it or post the transaction in an open period.
