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?

Because the activated payoff may be blocking open items belonging to the
contract, the system does not include these when determing the gross
payoff amount in connection with the discharging of the loan. If you
want to include these items in the discharge, however, you need to first
delete the activated payoff using transaction FN8X.
