What causes this issue?

When the update data is reorganized, it deletes inconsistent
(incomplete) update requests. While one user is carrying out a transact
ion, the update data is often in a state of incompletion. When the
transaction is completed and the update begun, the data becomes c
omplete. If the data is reorganized in productive operation, temporary
inconsistencies may get deleted. A data inconsistency with incomplete
data can therefore arise.

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?

Reorganize update tables only when there are no users logged into the
system.
