  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PRC_CON005 More than one budget found for &1: &2 &3
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system finds more than one budget record for the same combination of controlling objects or budget criteria during a budget check or budget consumption process. Essentially, the system expects a unique budget assignment for a particular controlling object (such as a cost center, internal order, WBS element, etc.) and fiscal year or period, but it finds multiple budget entries that match the criteria.
  This situation can arise due to:
  
  Duplicate budget entries created for the same controlling object and fiscal year.
  Overlapping budget versions or budget profiles.
  Incorrect or inconsistent budget master data.
  Budgeting done in multiple budget versions without proper segregation.
  Data inconsistencies after budget upload or manual budget adjustments.
  
  
  Where does it occur?
  
  During budget availability control (AVC) checks.
  When posting costs or commitments that trigger budget consumption.
  In modules like CO (Controlling), PS (Project System), or FM (Funds Management) depending on the controlling object.
  During budget upload or budget release processes.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Budgets:
  
  Use transaction codes like S_ALR_87013542 (Budget/Actual Comparison) or OKKP (Cost Center Planning) to check budget entries.
  Check budget versions and profiles assigned to the controlling object.
  Use reports or queries to find multiple budget records for the same controlling object and fiscal year.
  
  
  
  Remove or Consolidate Duplicate Budgets:
  
  Delete or archive duplicate budget entries if they are not needed.
  Consolidate budgets into a single version or profile if applicable.
  Ensure only one active budget version is assigned for the controlling object and fiscal year.
  
  
  
  Check Budget Versions and Profiles:
  
  Verify that budget versions are correctly maintained and assigned.
  Ensure that budget profiles do not overlap or cause multiple budget entries for the same object.
  
  
  
  Adjust Budget Master Data:
  
  Correct any inconsistencies in the budget master data.
  If using Funds Management (FM), check FM budget entries and commitment items.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Support:
  
  If the issue persists, check for relevant SAP Notes or patches.
  Sometimes, system inconsistencies require database cleanup or support intervention.
