SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AO - Appropriation requests - Master data / Customizing

• Message number: 284

• Message text: Assignmt to original reqst &1 not possible due to status of app.req. &2

What causes this issue?

You want to assign appropriation request &V1& as the original
appropriation request.
However, alternate request &V2& no longer has 'created' status. Since
the appropriation request also has a different status now, it is not
possible to make assignment to original appropriation request &V1&.

System Response

Appropriation request &V1& cannot be used as the original appropriation
request.

How to fix this error?

Enter a different original appropriation request, for which all of its
alternate requests still have 'created' status.
Or, change the status of the appropriation request itself, and assign
the alternate requests again.
Note
When you use alternate requests, only one of the alternates is allowed
to have 'approved' status and subsequently be implemented.
