Hi Jammy,
Please check the following hints about this matter:
1) To be on the safe side, please run report RFFMRC04 in test mode, to see if there are differences between the line items and totals table.
If errors arise, please run it in update mode, whithout other budgeting/posting activities occurring at the same time (otherwise you may encounter differences). Then, please reconstruct the AVC totals (FMBV for Former budgeting, FMAVCREINIT for BCS).
2) Reassignment during fiscal year change also uses the Derivation strategy for reassignment (transaction FMYC). Please verify if you have defined in FMYC a different FM account assignment (funds center and commitmente item) than the one that you are expecting.
I am not sure if you have Former Budgeting or BCS, therefore consider also the following:
3) IF you are using Former Budgeting, I guess you are getting BP629. Please check report BPINDAN2_NEW and  if the 'Assigned budget' is same as the 'Commitments/actuals' the values are ok and budget is missing. If the values are different, you must run report BPINDX03 (FMBV) first to correct it.
4) IF you are using BCS, I guess you are getting FMAVC* message. For this, use transaction FMAVCR01 to verify your budget consumption and make sure that the budget was updated for payment budget not commitment budget (as per the error message that you are receiving).
5) Please check how this UOM (unit of measure) is defined in transaction CUNI.
In this transaction, you can set the Value-based commitment indicator.
This indicator controls whether commitments for the chosen unit of measure are
recorded on a quantity basis or a value basis. If the indicator is not set, the
commitments are managed on a quantity basis. If you set the indicator they are
managed on a value basis.
For value-based updates, the reduction of purchase order commitments occurs
with the maximum of goods receipt and/or invoice value. For
quantity-based commitments, the reduction of purchase order commitments occurs
with the maximum of goods receipt and/or invoice quantity.
Example:
You create a purchase order with the quantity of 1000 at the price of 10.
You post a goods receipt related to this PO with the quantity of 500 at the
price of 9.
For value-based updates, an amount of 4,500 is updated.
For quantity-based updates, an amount of  5,000 is updated.
I hope this helps.
Regards, Vanessa.
