AO469 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 469

• Message text: &1 &2 is not a planning element --> transfer of plan values not possible

What causes this issue?

You wanted to adopt plan values from the appropriation request, either
when creating &V1& &V2& from within the appropriation request, or by
using the 'adopt plan values' function.

System Response

&V1& &V2& is not a planning element and is not managed statistically.
Therefore the plan values cannot be transferred.
Measure &V1& &V2& is created anyway.
If you were using the 'adopt plan values' function, plan values are not
adopted.

How to fix this error?

Check WBS element &V2&.
Adoption of plan values is only allowed on planning elements or on
statistical WBS elements.
After you correct WBS element &V2&, you can then adopt the plan values
using the 'adopt plan values' function from within the appropriation
request, if only one measure is assigned to the appropriation request.
