DPR_APPROVAL059 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DPR_APPROVAL - Development Projects: Approval Messages

• Message number: 059

• Message text: Decision maker cannot be assigned to individual approval automatically

What causes this issue?

You can only begin the approval once you have assigned a person as
decision maker to each individual approval. However, it is not possible
to assign a resource as decision maker to the current individual
approval for role &V1& automatically.
Possible reasons:
Processing is overlapping and role &V1& contains more than one person as
decision maker for the key date (scheduled finish date of the phase or
today's date). Therefore, it is not possible to select a single decision
maker.
Role &V1& does not have any persons assigned to it.

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?

RESET N1
Make sure that only one person is assigned to role &V1& for the key date
on the <LS>Resources</> tab page or select a person manually in the
current individual approval for role &V1&.
Assign a person to role &V1& on the <LS>Resources</> tab page.
