What causes this issue?

You want to create a subsequent object to the following object in the
Accrual Engine:
Internal reference (GUID) of the accrual object: &V1&
Internal reference of the accrual subobject: &V2&
However, the accrual object does not yet have the status "completed".

System Response

A subsequent object can only be created for accrual subobjects that have
the status "completed".
This is because periodic accruals would otherwise be posted for both
accrual subobjects, which would lead to a duplication of data.
