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

• Message number: 122

• Message text: Trans. type groups &1 and &2 for downpymts are being deactivated. Check.

What causes this issue?

The system deactivated transaction type groups &V1& and &V2& for asset
class &V3&, since you changed the control of the asset class, and the
system had automatically activated these transaction types.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check whether you still need transaction type groups &V1& and &V2& for
posting down payments to assets under construction for asset class
&V3&. Activate these transaction type groups, if necessary, by
branching directly to maintenance of allowed transaction type groups,
using Extras.
