What causes this issue?

You are posting an accounting document (any release) or an FI document
(posted before release EA-PS 600) to Funds Management. The document in
question is either a reversed document or a reversal document. Due to
technical reasons, it is not possible to determine the document category
of these documents. If you post the original document (the document to
be reversed) subsequently, it inherits data from the reversal document,
which can lead to errors. Consequently, you first need to use the
program <DS:RE.RFFMDLFI>RFFMDLFI</> to delete both documents in this
case and then post them subsequently in the correct order.
