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?

As a rule, this error only occurs if you set up a new client. This is
because:
- the transfer tables have been copied to the new client, but the code
has been generated because of the tables. This code is now missing in
the new client.
- the transfer tables T888/T888M have not been copied to the new
client.
Check whether these tables exist in the client. If they exist, you can
generate the code either by running program RGIMOVV0 directly, or
maintaining a line in table T888M (change the value in Customizing and
afterwards set it right again). To check whether the field movement
exists, you can check the field movements in Customizing.
