What causes this issue?

When defining alternative ID types, you can specify for each ID type
whether meta data can be generated. This enables you to protect any
changes or enhancements you made in the class created during generation
from being overwritten. To do this, the <LS>Do Not Generate</>
indicator must be set in the expert mode of transaction COMC_PR_ALTID.
In this case, the indicator has been set and the alternative ID type
can therefore not be generated.

System Response
