SAP Note 583539 - Error FI171: Fund in FM area is not valid

Component : Commitments -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/583539 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses a system error where updates to procurement-related documents (purchase orders, requisitions, or earmarked fund documents) and subsequent carry forwards in Funds Management incorrectly trigger error messages (e.g., FI171). These errors falsely indicate that FM account assignments (like fund closures or new objects) are invalid or nonexistent for the fiscal year. The affected transactions include ME22N, ME52N, FMX2, among others. This is due to bugs in specific update profiles or PBET settings. The resolution involves applying correction instructions from this note and additional guidance from note 590711.

Key words :
