Return Budget Generate Error Budget Exceeded in SAP FM

[former_member629713]

Dear FM Gurus,

I need your help, i try to run transaction for FM Budget Return through FMBB, but strangely the system generate error message from AVC "Annual Budget Exceeded", this is very strange because as far as i know Availability Control (AVC) is generated only when there is consumption of budget. Why returning the budget generate the message too? be informed that i made this Return Budget transaction from Release to Unreleased budget, so the released budget will be unreleased.

Hi,

First of all, GR for a smaller amount than PO will release the commitment of PO, only if it's marked as final. Otherwise, the system might think that other GRs are yet to come. Is it your case? I.e. is your GR closes the commitment of PO?

Hi Eli,

the commitment from PO is updated by follow on document which is GR, so it the amount will going back as available budget, the PO is flagged as delivery completed and it is marked as Final Invoice, while in GR i have thick the Delivery Completed Indicator for PO. I have done the FMAVCREINIT, but the AVC message still appears.

Please, check in FMIOI table if the commitment of PO is duly reduced following GR final flag.

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your help, it does reduced the GR Amount in FMIOI. But the issue has been solved, it's configuration issue after all. After i make some changes in configuration, the message do not appear again so we can proceed for further process. Thank Eli

Hi,

Do you mean to say that there is no consumption (not at all) on the line and AVC message is triggered? This is indeed not normal. There is a possiblity that you receive an error message if your result is a negative budget, but even this is achieved with a small business rule and is not delivered in standard design.

Try and verify that you indeed have no consumption. Reinitialize your AVC via FMAVCREINIT and check if the problem reccurs. Make sure that the error is issued by AVC module (FMAVC code of error) and not by some self-developed message.

Hi Eli,

Thanks for the response, I will explain the case. Actually, I have business need for remaining budget value between PO and GR to be return to their original budget., the system will accommodate this with Return Budget scenario. If GR amount is less than PO Amount then the remaining value will go back to available value, right? This is standard behavior of FM, my business need is for this available value that generated from remaining value between PO and GR to be able to return to their original budget through scenario of returning the aforementioned released budget to become unreleased. But when I try to return the budget, the error message appears like i mentioned above as if there is consumption for this, which should’nt be possible because there is no consumption of budget, i am returning them instead. And Eli, please be informed the error message is standard as in AVC error message.

Regards,

Angga
