Description: You execute a cycle of the assessment, distribution, indirect activity allocation or periodic reposting. In this process, the system issues error message GA738 "Iteration terminated with divergence".
The cycle is iterative and one object (or several) exists both as a sender and as a receiver. If this occurs within a segment, the object allocates to itself.
This situation may result in a divergence. If the system issues this message, you have to revise the definition of the cycle because a mathematical solution of the iteration is no longer possible.
In rare cases, the following phenomenon may occur:
If the object described above receives a very large amount (or a very small amount) of the sender values (because the reference base is very large or very small), it may occur that the sender remains on a fairly low amount which is greater than 5. Iteration attempts to credit the sender value to fewer than 5 smallest currency units (for example pfennig for DEM, cent for USD, 1 yen for YEN).
Solution
1. Description as to how you can eliminate the error without correction
You can redefine the cycle so that the sender does not credit itself the largest or the smallest part.
2. Description as to when changes in program code are required
Implement the attached program change in your system. (As of Release 4.6C, the source code is contained in the standard system as comment rows. In this case, you only have to reactivate the comments.)
This is a modification which increases the iteration limit. If you are sure that you want to leave your cycle the way it is, you can initiate its update by increasing the limit of 5. The result is a greater rounding difference which the last receiver would receive.This change does NOT help in the case of an actual divergence.
