Editing the Carryforward Log

Use

If any errors occur when the overall budget was being carried forward, these are displayed in an carryforward log. You can process the errors directly from this carryforward log, or you can send e-mails to the persons responsible for the budgets in question.

Prerequisites

If you want to inform those responsible for budgets by e-mail that carryforward errors have occurred in their areas, you must have:

Defined persons responsible for your overall budget or sections of it

Set up the e-mail connection in Customizing for HR Funds and Position Management (step: Dialog Control ® Set Up Mail Connection).

Procedure

If any errors occur when the overall budget is being carried forward, these are written to a carryforward log. This carryforward error log contains a list of the errors that occurred. Each error is classified. The following icons are used to classify errors:

A description is also output for each error.
