SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AFX_GENERATION - Messages From Generation

• Message number: 139

• Message text: The enhancement category has been adjusted

What causes this issue?

The Archiving Workbench usually generates structures and database tables
with enhancement category 1 (cannot be enhanced). This is in accordance
with the usual project guidelines. New structures or tables to be
created must, however, be at least as flexible as regards enhancement as
their Include structures. Therefore, the enhancement category
had to be set to <ZH>&V1&</> in the previous case.
The individual values are:
0,,Not classified
1,,Cannot be enhanced
2,,Can be enhanced and is character-type
3,,Can be enhanced and is character-type or numeric
4,,can be enhanced as required

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?

If necessary, ask the person responsible for the connnected structure
whether the enhancement category set there is to be restricted further.
If this happens, you can manually adjust your enhancement category. To
do this, start transaction SE11 in processing mode and choose Extras ->
Enhancement Category. There is also detailed documentation on this
subject here.
