How To Fix KCM101 - *** General Cross-Object Messages ***

KCM101 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KCM - Change Management

• Message number: 101

• Message text: *** General Cross-Object Messages ***

What causes this issue?

The following messages cross object boundaries. They refer particularly
to all program actions that occur during the creation and updating of
documents. Errors identified by the system at this stage of processing
prevent the updating of all the planned changes.
In addition to these cross-object messages, the system also collects
all messages that can be specifically assigned to one object. Such
object-specific messages are displayed in the message list for each
object under the title "*** General Messages for Objects***"". There
you can see for each object, which warning or error messages occurred
during the object-specific analysis and validation by the system.
These object-specific messages inform you why the organizational units
for the objects might not be changed. If "Errors" (message type "E") or
termination messages (message type "A") occur, the object is excluded
from further processing.
