  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW651 - Budget number &1 for the process ID &2 does not exist ?

    The SAP error message:

    WRF_PPW651: Budget number &1 for the process ID &2 does not exist


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a budget number referenced in a workflow or process does not exist in the system for the given process ID. Essentially, the system is trying to access or validate a budget number that has not been created or maintained in the relevant budget tables or master data.

    Common scenarios include:

    • The budget number has not been created or activated in the Budgeting module (e.g., FM - Funds Management).
    • The budget number is incorrectly entered or passed in the workflow/process.
    • The budget number is missing in the integration between the controlling or funds management module and the workflow/process.
    • The process ID (which could be a workflow instance or a process identifier) is referencing an invalid or non-existent budget number.

    Solution:

    1. Verify Budget Number Existence:

      • Check if the budget number exists in the system.
      • Use transaction codes such as:
        • FMBB (Budgeting: Maintain Budget)
        • FMAVCR01 (Display Budget Availability Control)
        • FMZ1 (Create Budget)
      • Confirm that the budget number is active and valid for the fiscal year and controlling area.
    2. Check Process ID and Workflow Configuration:

      • Identify the process ID &2 mentioned in the error.
      • Check the workflow or process configuration to ensure the correct budget number is assigned.
      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to find the workflow instance and check the container values or variables related to the budget number.
    3. Correct the Budget Number in the Process:

      • If the budget number is incorrect or missing, update the workflow container or the process data to use the correct budget number.
      • If the budget number is missing in master data, create or activate it.
    4. Check Integration Settings:

      • If the budget number is passed from another module (e.g., MM, PS), verify the integration settings and ensure the budget number is correctly mapped and transferred.
    5. Re-run or Restart the Process:

      • After correcting the budget number, restart or re-trigger the workflow/process to see if the error is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Module: Funds Management (FM), Controlling (CO), Workflow (WF)
    • Transactions:
      • FMBB - Budgeting: Maintain Budget
      • FMAVCR01 - Display Budget Availability Control
      • SWI1 - Work Item Selection
      • SWIA - Work Item Administration
    • Notes:
      • Ensure that the budget number is valid for the fiscal year and controlling area.
      • Check authorization for maintaining budgets.
      • If the error occurs during a custom workflow, review the workflow logic and container elements related to budget numbers.
    • SAP OSS Notes: Search for WRF_PPW651 or related budget number errors in SAP Support Portal for any patches or known issues.
