Solution in SAP
According to your description, it seems that you use Tolerance Limits
defined with a relative usage rate in %.
Be aware that Usage Rate Checks are only relevant once you have posted
consumption. Until you have any consumption, the system will not provide
you any warning or error message.
To avoid this situation, we will recommend to define an additional tolerance profile
with a control in absolute value, and configure the system in order to provide
warnings with a check of the absolute value (value zero)
You can do it from the IMG activity "Edit Tolerance Profiles" by chosen
"absolute variances allowed"
Menu Path >
IMG > Public Sector Management > Funds Management Government > Budget
Control System (BCS) > Availability Control > Edit Tolerance Profiles
www.sapebooks.com Page 9 of 14
Use the setting for rates and absolute variance allowed.
Define the absolute variance allowance = 0.00 (it will be blank)
Sample Configuration screenshot
Now assign this profile to FM area or derive this from derivation strategy for
tolerance profile.

Do the required configuration at below mention node,
IMG > Public Sector Management > Funds Management Government > Budget
Control System (BCS) > Availability Control > Settings for Availability Control Ledger
> Define Derivation Strategy for Tolerance Profiles
Note: This configuration (Derivation Strategy for Tolerance Profiles ) is optional and
you may directly assign to FM area at below mention node. It depends upon your
configuration.
IMG > Public Sector Management > Funds Management Government > Budget
Control System (BCS) > Availability Control > Settings for Availability Control Ledger
> Assign Tolerance Profiles and Strategy for Control Objects
Do not forget to reconstruct your availability control for your AVL ledger
