Diagnosis
During the closing of the old approval year, you are transferringmeasures or appropriation requests from the current approved values ofthe old approval year to the current approved values of the newapproval year.
This step cannot be reversed. This means:

• Any reassignment (assignment or removal) of the transferred measures or
appropriation requests is now possible only on the investment programin the new approval year. This applies particularly to the repeat runsof the function Open new approval year. Repeat runs can nolonger automatically remove the assigment of the transferred measuresor appropriation requests in the new approval year (for example, ifthey were closed in the meantime).

• If you used budget distribution from program positions to the measures,
this function can now be carried out only from the investment programin the new approval year.

Procedure
You could choose to wait before carrying out the function Close oldapproval year. This has the following advantages:


• Each time you carry out a repeat run of the function Open new
approval year, the values of the measures/appropriation requestscarried forward to the investment program of the new fiscal yearcontinue to be updated. (For example, any measures that were closed orappropriation requests that were rejected between the two runs are thenautomatically removed from the carryforward to the investment programof the new approval year.)

• Budget distribution can take place from the investment program of the
old approval year and the new approval year.
