How To Fix AP291 - All possible corrections not carried out

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AP - Investment program messages

• Message number: 291

• Message text: All possible corrections not carried out

What causes this issue?

As part of the euro changeover for investment programs, the system
generates automatic adjustment line items for the investment program
budget. The purpose of these adjustment items is to correct any
differences that arise due to rounding during the euro conversion, so
that the budget remains consistent. There are three different types of
inconsistencies, for which elementary adjustment line items are
automatically created, per program position:
RESET N1.
Negative budgets (overall or annual values): The system generates a
positive adjustment line item for the amount of the negative budget, so
that the budget is reduced to zero.
Sum of annual values greater than overall value: The system generates
an adjustment item for the amount of the difference.
Budget less than distributed budget (overall or annual values): The
system generates an adjustment item for the amount of the difference.
When creating an elementary adjustment item of this kind, however, the
assumption is made that the adjustment due to the euro conversion
cannot exceed a maximum of 10.00 euros. In the present case, however,
at least one elementary adjustment item was determined that is greater
than 10.00 euros.
Reminder: In order to preserve the hieararchical consistency of the
budget, the system rolls up the elementary adjustment items within the
investment program hierarchy. The absolute adjustment amounts that
arise in this way per program position can (if the investment program
is large enough) actually then be greater than 10.00 euros. Therefore,
the system performs checks against the threshold value of 10.00 euros
only on the elementary adjustment items.

System Response

The elementary adjustment items that are greater than 10.00 euros are
ignored but a warning is issued. The reasoning here is that these
inconsistencies normally do not stem from the euro changeover, but are
actually inconsistencies that the user deliberately chose to allow,
even before the euro conversion. (You can allow such inconsistencies,
for example by saving the budget and choosing "save without check").

How to fix this error?

You have several options.
RESET N1.
Allow the inconsistencies to stand.
Since the inconsistencies with all probability are the result of
deliberate decisions made before the euro conversion, there is no need
to correct them now.
Manual adjustments
Correct some or all of the inconsistencies manually as you see fit.
Automatic adjustment
There are two different alternatives:
Subsequent restart of the appropriate euro program
Start report RAIPEWU2. On the initial screen, enter the investment
program in the parameter PA_PRNAM and the approval year in PA_GJAHR. Do
not make any entry for the parameter PA_POSID.
Parameter CORR_MAX contains the threshold value for automatic
elementary adjustment items. Increase this threshold value, for
example, to the maximum possible value, if you want to ensure that
elementary adjustments are performed no matter what.
Postprocessing using the standard functions for consistency checks in
investment programs.
Call transaction IMCOC1 in order to perform an automatic check for
inconsistencies.
Advantage as compared to RAIPEWU2: There is a test run option and an
extensive log for this transaction.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AP291 - All possible corrections not carried out ?

  The SAP error message AP291 ("All possible corrections not carried out") typically occurs during the execution of a program or transaction that involves adjustments or corrections to data, such as during the execution of a batch input session or a mass change operation. This message indicates that while the system attempted to make corrections, not all of them were successfully completed.
  Causes:
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from applying all corrections.
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the transaction may lack the necessary authorizations to perform certain corrections.
  Locked Records: Some records may be locked by other users or processes, preventing the system from making changes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not aligned with the expected behavior of the transaction.
  Program Logic: The logic within the program or transaction may have conditions that prevent certain corrections from being applied.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Logs: Review the application logs or error logs to identify which corrections were not applied and why. This can provide insight into specific issues.
  Data Validation: Validate the data being processed to ensure there are no inconsistencies or errors that could prevent corrections.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the corrections. If not, request the appropriate access.
  Unlock Records: If records are locked, coordinate with other users or processes to unlock them before re-running the transaction.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to the transaction to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Re-run the Transaction: After addressing the identified issues, re-run the transaction to see if the corrections can be applied successfully.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or program for additional guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or program you are using.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in troubleshooting, such as SLG1 (Application Log) for checking logs.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the AP291 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
