What causes this issue?

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

System Response

The transfer instruction for an entitlement to be transferred specifies
that the entitlement is due on the old dates. A fatal internal error
occurred here in the function module <name of ap
plication>_ELTDOC_SES_CREATE_WDATE that prevents further processing. In
this case no work areas for the new distribution could be generated.
This can have the following reasons:
The types of the parameters is_result_to_schedule and et_result that
transfer to form routine SCHEDULER are not compatible with each other.
The generation of work areas with RTTS triggered an unhandled exception.
Parameter et_result of form routine SCHEDULER has no reference to a DDIC
object.
