  • What causes this issue?

    You are about to modify SAP entries. Because this table serves
    documentation purposes only, making changes is not generally advisable
    (generated programs are different from entered standard programs solely
    in name).
    If you want to create a read program in the customer name range (and a
    related development class) that is to be modified, it would be better
    to copy it from the standard programs using SE38. For actual line item
    programs, screens have to be copied too. For plan or summary programs,
    the standard proposals should be taken. In the latter procedure, avoid
    making obsolete entries in the archiving customizing tables.

    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?

    If you want to make the change, confirm the warning; if not, terminate
    the activity.
