Internal Order Settlment Error: First settle items from previous year in

Question

Dear Gurus,
I tried to work out a solution to settle AUC to G/L expense account through internal order. I tested in QA system it works well. But in PRD, it gave me an error message "First settle items from previous year in the previous year".
The process is the following: IO-> AUC-> FXA or G/L. Becaue user has done some expense transaction wrongly to the AUC so he wants to post the balances in AUC to GL  expense account.
I have set the final settlement to GL as optional and config some pop up message as warning message and implement a sap notes to fulfill this request.
I guess my problem is:
I tested in QA in senario the IO was created in 2009 and I tried to settle it to a GL in 2010. So it shows no problem. However in PRD the IO was created in 2008 and the final settlement year is 2010 or 2011 so it shows the error which was not shown in QA.
The error message only shows "First settle items from previous year in the previous year".  No more detail to me.
Have you ever run into this problem before? Please help to throw some lights on it.
Emma
