SAP Message AP279 - Only supplements are allowed for carried-forward measures

Diagnosis
During budget distribution, you tried to change the original budget ofan old measure, or to enter a budget return from an old measure.However, during budget distribution, the system only allows supplementsfor old measures.

System Response
The function cannot be carried out.

Procedure
If there is unused budget on an old measure, and you would like toreturn the budget, you can do so only in budget distribution of the oldinvestment program on which to the measure was first assigned.
If you want to make this budget applicable to the new investmentprogram, then you have to increase the budget of the new investmentprogram in the normal way, using the budgeting functions for investmentprograms (instead of the budget distribution function). When you do so,you have to make sure yourself that this increase actually correspondsto the amount of returned budget on the measures of the old investmentprogram.
There is also another option. At any point after the fiscal yearchange, you can still carry out the "Close the old approval year"function. The result is that the old and new measures are no longerdifferentiated from each other. And the current program budget of thenew investment program is thereby increased consistently by the totalsof the budgets of old measures that are adopted (which implicitly meansa transfer of the unused measure budgets to the new investmentprogram).
