SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G0 - Messages for SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 267

• Message text: Do not exchange doc. types with posting levels under 20 and over 19

What causes this issue?

You assigned <DS:GLOS.document_type>document types</> to
<DS:GLOS.task>task</> &V1&. Previously, other document types were
assigned.
When you replaced these document types, the posting level changed from
below 20 to greater than or equal to 20, or vice versa. The posting
level determines whether a task belongs to the data monitor or
consolidation monitor, however, and therefore this change is not
allowed.
