• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMFG_ABP - Automatic Budget Postings

• Message number: 015

• Message text: &1 &2

What causes this issue?

Within the Automatic Budget Postings (ABP) derivation strategy currently
being set or called, a derivation rule that uses the amount type element
as a source field could not be processed by the system. An attempt to
derive a budget type value from an amount type failed because no amount
change element was specified.
For the scenario being processed, the amount type element alone is not
sufficient to determine proper mapping to budget types. The amount
change element must also be included as a source field, together with
the amount type element.

System Response

The system issues a warning message.

How to fix this error?

Identify derivation rules that use the amount type element as a source
field.
Add the amount change element as source field to the derivation rules.
For each budget type target value determined using an amount type,
select a proper amount change value -- increase or decrease.
For budget type target values determined using a different amount type
value, the amount change element should be left blank.

Procedure for System Administrators
