• Message number: 099

• Message text: Approp. req. type &1 in reference &3 different from &2 - check

What causes this issue?

You want to create a new appropriation request with appropriation
request type &V2&. You entered appropriation request &V3& as a
reference. However, appropriation request &V3& has appropriation
request type &V1&.

System Response

The system creates your new appropriation request with appropriation
request type &V2&. However, note the following:
The number assignment for the variants might be different, and this
would result in the variant numbers being different, if the reference
has external variant number assignment and appropriation request type
&V2& has internal number assignment.
Difficulties can also occur if the partner determination procedures in
appropriation request types &V1& and &V2& are different. The transfer
of the partner data cannot be carried out completely if the partner
functions are not in the new partner determination procedure.

How to fix this error?

Check the transferred data carefully.
