• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_BUDGET013 - Deletion failed for at least 1 budget ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_BUDGET013: Deletion failed for at least 1 budget
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when an attempt to delete one or more budget records fails. The failure can be due to several reasons, including but not limited to:
  
  The budget is referenced or linked to other documents or transactions (e.g., commitments, actual postings, or reservations).
  The budget status does not allow deletion (e.g., it is released, approved, or locked).
  Insufficient authorizations or missing permissions for the user attempting the deletion.
  Technical issues such as database locks or inconsistencies.
  Budget is part of a budget version or hierarchy that restricts deletion.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WRF_BUDGET013 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Budget Status:
  
  Verify the status of the budget in the system.
  Budgets that are released or approved may not be deletable.
  If possible, revert the budget to a status that allows deletion.
  
  
  
  Check for References:
  
  Use transaction codes like FMAVCR01 (Budget Availability Control) or related reports to check if the budget is linked to any commitments, actual postings, or reservations.
  If references exist, these must be cleared or deleted before the budget can be deleted.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to delete budgets.
  Check roles and authorizations related to budget management (e.g., FM_BUDGET_DELETE).
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Technical Issues:
  
  Verify if the budget record is locked by another user or process.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  If locked, coordinate with the user/process holding the lock or wait until it is released.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Deletion Method:
  
  Use the appropriate SAP transaction or program for budget deletion.
  For example, use FMBB (Budgeting: Delete Budget) or the relevant custom program if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Support Portal for any notes related to WRF_BUDGET013.
