• Message class: KE -

• Message number: 044

• Message text: Automatic adjustment not possible for operating concern &

What causes this issue?

A new release (upgrade) or a correction (support package) has been
imported into the system. Operating concern "&V1&" must be adapted to
the new system environment.
When a batch input session is run, the system cannot execute the
adjustment automatically.

System Response

It is not possible to use the operating concern (such as for posting
data or executing reports).

How to fix this error?

Manually start a transaction that accesses operating concern "&V1&",
such as KEBC (Set Operating Concern). Doing so automatically adapts the
operating concern to the new system environment. You can then repeat
the processing of the batch input session.
Note that it is only possible to have the adjustment performed
automatically by starting a transaction <ZH>IF</> the operating concern
was already activated before the upgrade or the support package import.
Otherwise, the operating concern needs to be activated with transaction
KEA0 (Maintain Operating Concern).

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
