• Message class: AP_COPY - Copying Function for Plan/Budget

• Message number: 026

• Message text: Project &1: budget partially or completely not ready for input

What causes this issue?

The budget of project &V1& should be changed automatically.
However, the overall or annual budget of one or all WBS elements of
project &V1& is <ZH>not</> ready for input if the corresponding manual
budgeting function was being used. Therefore the automatic change to
the budget is also <ZH>not</> possible.

System Response

The budget of project &V1& is not changed.

How to fix this error?

The reason the budget of one or all of the WBS elements is not ready
for input is usually that a program type for investment programs is
entered in the budget profile of the project. As a result, a WBS
element of project &V1& cannot be budgeted until it (or a WBS element
superior in the hierarchy) is assigned to a program position of an
investment program of this program type.
Assign the WBS elements of project &V1& to appropriate investment
program positions.

Procedure for System Administrators
