donor budget structure element. The following situation then arises:
However, the retroactive accounting date (&v1) is earlier than the
<DS:DE.PRRDT>earliest possible retroactive accounting date</> defined
in the control record.
The management record is locked, for example because payroll is in the
correction phase.

accounting date, you have the following options:
