How To Fix AY034 - You have not maintained an investment profile (please correct)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AY - Deprec. simulation - maint. module (AIPS) /gen. master data

• Message number: 034

• Message text: You have not maintained an investment profile (please correct)

What causes this issue?

You want to process depreciation simulation data for an order or WBS
element, but there is no investment profile maintained in the order or
WBS element.

System Response

As of Release 3.0, you can only create depreciation simulation data for
an order or WBS element when it has been assigned an investment profile.
If there is already existing depreciation simulation data for an order
or WBS element (from an earlier release, or when the measure was created
from an appropriation request), then you can maintain this data, and you
do not have to enter an investment profile.

How to fix this error?

Enter an investment profile in your project profile or model order. This
investment profile is then used as a default when you create orders or
WBS elements. You can also still manually change the investment profile
in the order or WBS element.
