How To Fix CL680 - Status "&1" is also used for a manual setting

CL680 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CL - Classification

• Message number: 680

• Message text: Status "&1" is also used for a manual setting

What causes this issue?

You have set the <ZH>Automatic release</> indicator for the status.
We advise you to only use this indicator with "Incomplete system"
status, which is set automatically if objects are allocated to a class
without assigning values to one or more characteristics with the
<ZH>Entry required</> indicator. Once all required characteristics have
values, the classification is released, provided that the status has
the <ZH>Automatic release</> indicator.
If you set the indicator for a status that is assigned manually in
classification, the <ZH>Automatic release</> indicator can release
classifications that you want to lock for some other reason. The
automatic release function only checks whether all required
characteristics have values.

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?

Check whether you want to allow automatic release for a status that is
set manually.
