  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_OTB132 indicates that there is an issue related to the budget allocation for a specific item and schedule line in the context of procurement. This error typically arises when a purchase order or a scheduling agreement is trying to use a budget that is not associated with a contract or is outside the expected budgetary constraints.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Contract Budget Usage: The item and schedule line specified in the error message are attempting to utilize a budget that is not linked to a valid contract. This can happen if the procurement process is set up to only allow budget usage from specific contracts.
  Budget Availability: The budget for the item may not be available or may have been exhausted, leading the system to look for alternative budget sources, which are not allowed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the use of non-contract budgets for certain types of procurement activities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Contract Association: Ensure that the item and schedule line are correctly associated with a valid contract. If a contract exists, verify that it is active and has sufficient budget allocated.
  Review Budget Settings: Check the budget settings in the system to ensure that the budget is correctly defined and available for the item in question. You may need to adjust the budget or reallocate funds.
  Modify Procurement Process: If the procurement process allows for non-contract budgets, you may need to adjust the settings to permit their use. This may involve working with your SAP configuration team to modify the relevant settings.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to budget management and procurement processes.
