SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FITVPS -

• Message number: 285

• Message text: The system has created subsidy receipts but not applied the cost distrib

What causes this issue?

You have recorded accommodations receipts whose amount per night is less
than the per-diem reimbursement for accommodations and you have assigned
absolute cost distribution to at least one of these receipts. You have
not assigned percentual cost distribution to any of the receipts.

System Response

For each of these receipts, the system has generated a subsidy receipt
up to the amount of per-diem reimbursement for accommodations, but it
could not apply the cost distribution for the subsidy receipts.

How to fix this error?

Maintain the cost distribution of the subsidy receipts of the relevant
absolutely distributed accommodation receipts. The subsidy receipts are
found in the "Receipts" tab in the same order as the relevant
accommodations receipts.
If you do not want to grant the amount up to the per-diem reimbursement
for accommodation, you can set the amount of the generated subsidy
receipt to zero.

Procedure for System Administrators
