The message indicates that the system received a return code or status from the function module that it does not recognize or cannot process properly.
  
  &1: Placeholder for the unexpected return value.

  Common Scenarios:
  
  Custom enhancements or user exits that call budget-related function modules but do not handle all possible return values.
  Standard SAP budget checking function modules returning error or warning codes that are not handled in the calling program.
  Inconsistent or incorrect configuration in budget control settings.
  Data inconsistencies or missing master data related to budget objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Function Module and Return Value:
  
  Check the exact return value (&1) and function module (&2) from the error message.
  Use transaction SE37 to test the function module manually with the same input parameters to reproduce the issue.

  Handle the Return Value Appropriately:
  
  If you have custom code calling this function module, ensure that all possible return values are handled properly.
