• Message text: Max. invest. support amnt for prior-year acquisitions exceeded in area &

What causes this issue?

In area&v1&, the investment support &v3& exceeds the maximum amount &v2&
relating to prior-year acquisitions.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you are using a maximum percentage for the support, calculate the
total of the base depreciation area of existing prior-year acquisitions,
i.e. the accumulated APC and the APC posted with a transaction type for
prior-year acquisitions and use the maximum allowed support percentage
for the support measure. This way you will get the maximum support
amount relating to prior-year acquisitions.
Compare the maximum support amount from the support measure or, as
described above, determined with the total of the support for prior-year
acquisitions.
The total of the support for prior-year acquisitions is the total of the
accumulated support and that of the support posted in the current fiscal
year with a transaction type for prior-year acquisitions, including the
support that you are now trying to post.
If this total is greater than the maximum support amount, the system
terminates the posting with an error message.

Procedure for System Administrators

Check whether you must post the amount you want as a whole or as part of
support for current-year acquisitions. If, for example, the maximum
support amount for prior-year acquisitions is used up, but it is still
possible to support current-year acquisitions.
You can post a maximum of &v2& relating to prior-year acquisitions in
area &v1&.
