SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AP - Investment program messages

• Message number: 147

• Message text: Fiscal year change was already carried out for inv. programs

What causes this issue?

You want to carry forward a balance for an investment measure.
However, this investment measure is attached to investment program
position &V1&. A fiscal year change was already carried out from
program position &V1& to program position &V2&. During this process,
there may already have been a summary balance forward of the annual
values of the subordinate investment measures from program position
&V1&, with the values being stored in program position &V2&.
During this balance forward, however, the annual values of the measures
were changed. This change means that the annual values calculated for
the carry forward of annual values on program position &V2& are no
longer up to date.

How to fix this error?

If needed, update the annual values carried forward using the fiscal
year change function for capital investment programs.
