SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 5P - Error Messages for Schema, Pers.Calc.Rule and Feature Checks

• Message number: 290

• Message text: Generating features

What causes this issue?

The action runs after table entries have been imported. Features were
transported into the system. It is, therefore, necessary that a
generation of features takes place. If there is an error when
generating, the incorrect features must be edited using transaction
PE03. This task should, however, only be carried out by someone who is
familiar with transaction PE03. Documentation for this transaction
can be accessed by means of the menu point 'Help' and then 'Extended
help'. The following list contains all the features for which a
generation has been carried out.
