What causes this issue?

When the application functionality (for example, order creation) was
executed, one or more error messages of type 'E' (error) occured.
Despite these error messages, the complete application document was
updated as a because of its call parameters.
If this call contains many objects (for example, orders), this means
that some objects have been updated, whereas other objects (with
errors) have not been updated, or have been only partially updated.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Note:
This behaviour can usually be controlled using the import parameter
COMMIT_CONTROL.

How to fix this error?

First examine the previous error messages. Correct the source of the
error before carrying out follow-up action.
ALE/IDoc only:
If the application document (IDoc) was sent via an ALE/IDoc to IDoc
inbound processing, this IDoc is shown with the status '51' in the IDoc
display. This makes it possible for the IDoc to be transferred to the
relevant application and be posted again.
<ZH>Attention:</> If the IDoc consists of several objects (for example
many orders), it is possible that some objects were already created or
changed in the previous posting. Before a new posting of the IDoc, you
must ensure that no objects have been created twice or more times.
Depending upon the situation, the IDoc must not be posted again. The
error must be corrected either by manually changing the affected object
in the SAP system, or by re-sending an adjusted IDoc from the external
system.
