SAP Message AP289 - Caution: It may be necessary to update carryforward for &1/&2

Diagnosis
You want to close old investment program &V3&/&V4& and at the same timetransfer measures or appropriation requests to the current approvedvalues of the new investment program, &V1&/&V2&. You did not setat least one of the following indicators:

  • Carry forward budget values

  • Carry forward plan values

  • This means that the system does not add the budget values orplan values of the measures/appropriation requests to the currentvalues of the new investment program &V1&/&V2&. This makes it unclearwhether you still want the plan or budget carryforward for thesemeasures/appropriation requests (that was created in investment programV1/v2 during opening a new approval year).

    Procedure
    Assuming you want to reduce the carryforward for plan and budget ininvestment program &V1&/&V2& by the amounts of the carried forwardmeasures or appropriation requests when you open new approval year
    , then it makes sense to run another update of open new approvalyear after you have already performed the close old approvalyear function.
