How To Fix 26033 - Document hierarchy is recursive from &/&/&/&

26033 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 26 - Dokumentenverwaltung

• Message number: 033

• Message text: Document hierarchy is recursive from &/&/&/&

What causes this issue?

You want to explode the hierarchy of a document. The system has
recognized that the hierarchy is <GL:recursiveness>recursive</> as from
document &V1& &V2& &V3& &V4&.
Recursiveness is not supported for documents. If the system recognizes
recursiveness in documents, it issues an error message.
Under certain circumstances, the system does not recognize
recursiveness until the document is posted, so does not stop it
occurring.
You cannot display the entire hierarchy of a recursive document.

How to fix this error?

To display the entire hierarchy of the document, you must also display
the hierarchy of document &V1& &V2& &V3& &V4&, from which the hierarchy
is recursive.
