  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WRF_BUDGET020: No suitable actual values were found in the database:
  
  Error Message:
  WRF_BUDGET020: No suitable actual values were found in the database
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Budgeting and Funds Management (FM) or Controlling (CO) modules when the system tries to retrieve actual financial data (actual values) for a particular budget or commitment control process but cannot find any relevant actual postings in the database.
  Common reasons include:
  
  No actual postings exist for the specified fiscal year, period, or cost object.
  The selection criteria used to fetch actual values are too restrictive or incorrect (e.g., wrong fiscal year, cost center, fund, or commitment item).
  The actual data has not been posted yet or has not been transferred to the budget control system.
  The integration between actual postings and budget control is not properly configured or active.
  The data is not yet updated or replicated in the relevant tables (e.g., actual line items or totals tables).
  
  
  Where it Occurs:
  
  During budget availability control checks.
  When running reports or transactions that compare budgeted amounts with actuals.
  In commitment control processes where actual consumption is checked.
  In funds management or controlling reports that require actual data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Actual Postings:
  
  Verify that actual postings exist for the relevant fiscal year, period, and controlling objects.
  Use transactions like FBL3N (G/L line items), KSB1 (cost center actual line items), or FMAVCR01 (funds management actual consumption report) to confirm actual data presence.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Ensure that the parameters (fiscal year, period, cost center, fund, commitment item, etc.) used in the transaction or report are correct and correspond to existing actual data.
  Loosen selection criteria if necessary to broaden the search.
  
  
  
  Check Integration and Configuration:
  
  Confirm that the integration between actual postings and budget control is active and correctly configured.
  Check if the relevant commitment items or funds management objects are properly linked to actual postings.
  
  
  
  Data Transfer and Updates:
  
  If actual data is posted in CO or FI but not visible in FM or budget control, check if the data transfer or update jobs (e.g., batch jobs or background jobs) are running correctly.
  Run or schedule the relevant update programs to synchronize actual data.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to view actual data.
