Investment support business scenario - QUESTION

I have a question on the business scenario for investment support. Has anyone come across a scenario where a client will post investment support greater than the cost of their asset ? Logically one should not do that and technically SAP will not allow you to post investment support greater than the cost (APC) of the asset.

Assuming the process starts from Project. You get cost and investment posted to your project. Your cost gets settled to AuC (net/gross of investment support - depends on the design).
For e.g. I have cost of $10 in my project out of which $9 is investment support. If i am settling NET to AuC my AuC APC will have $1. I can never post investment support using ABIF T-type Ixx to AuC # with $ 9 as it exceeds APC cost.

Project Cost
--------
Cost = 10
InvSp= (9)
----------
Net = 1 to settle to AuC

Couple of workarounds would be to either shutdown the std. SAP error message (which won't be appropriate) or to wait until you have 2x the cost of investment support. But these workarounds would not work if the project is fully funded as you are settling NET and there is no more cost getting accrued on the project later.

Can someone give inputs to these kind of scenarios and what could be the better solution to it ?

If anybody has the answer for the above scenario, please reply at sap.vvr@gmail.com
