Diagnosis
An appropriation request is assigned to an investment program position,or is to be assigned to an investment program position.
The following settings have been made for this program position:

• Subordinate WBS element &V1& that is assigned to the appropriation
request, and thereby indirectly assigned to the program position,should receive its budget solely from budget distribution from thisprogram position.

• All WBS elements that are assigned thereby indirectly assigned to the
program position, and are above WBS element &V1& in the hierarchy, aswell as those that are above the WBS elements that are subordinate toWBS element &V1& (in other words, these superior WBS elements are in a"path" above WBS element &V1&), should also be budgeted automatically,meaning they can only receive budgets equaling the amount entered forthe budget distribution. These superior WBS elements should only bebudgeted automatically in this way, that is, they are not allowed tohave their own, distributable budget.
However, at least one WBS element, which is above WBS element &V1&,already has its own, distributable budget.

Procedure
First reduce the existing distributable budget of the WBS element(s)above WBS element &V1& to zero (for example, by using budget returns).You can display the distributable budget in each project budgetingfunction by setting the view for "distributable."
