Maint. Task List</>) has been defined for this object type, a
corresponding object link to SAP object <LB>PMAUFK</> (<ZK>Maintenance
Order</>) has not been defined. Since task lists with documents can be
included in maintenance orders, the corresponding Customizing settings
must be made for the maintenance order as well.

How to fix this error?

Cross-Application Components</> under <ZK>Document Management</> -> <ZK>
Control Data</> -> <DS:SIMG.SIMG_VC_DVS10>Define Document Types</> ->
<ZK>Define object links</>.

the maintenance order at header level, define the object link for
document type &V1& to the SAP object <LB>PMAUFK</> (<ZK>Maintenance
Order</>) in Customizing.
