This error occurs when you attempt to increase a policy loan amount without first releasing or clearing an existing loan that has already been set up for that policy.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Policy Loan: The policy in question already has an active loan that needs to be addressed before any further increases can be made.

  Paying off the existing loan.
  Adjusting the loan terms.
  Following the specific procedures defined in your organization’s SAP configuration for releasing loans.
  
  
  
  Increase the Loan: Once the existing loan has been released, you can proceed to increase the policy loan amount as needed.
  
  
  Documentation: Ensure that all changes are documented properly for compliance and auditing purposes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP that pertain to policy management and loan processing (e.g., IP01, IP02 for policy management).
