• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26006 - Version assigned automatically for document type & ?

  The SAP error message 26006, which states "Version assigned automatically for document type &," typically occurs in the context of document management or document versioning within SAP. This message indicates that the system has automatically assigned a version to a document because the document type does not allow for manual versioning or because certain conditions have not been met.
  Cause:
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type may be configured in such a way that it does not allow for manual versioning. This can be due to settings in the document management system (DMS) or specific configurations in the document type settings.
  Versioning Settings: The versioning settings for the document type may be set to automatic, meaning that the system will automatically assign a version number whenever a new document is created or an existing document is modified.
  Missing Required Fields: If certain required fields are not filled out when creating or modifying a document, the system may default to automatic versioning.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to manually assign a version to the document.

  Complete Required Fields: Ensure that all required fields are filled out when creating or modifying a document. This may help in avoiding automatic version assignment.
