How To Fix LT173 - Changes can cause data inconsistencies

LT173 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LT - LE-WM: View or Table Maintenance Error Messages

• Message number: 173

• Message text: Changes can cause data inconsistencies

What causes this issue?

When this table was changed, the system found application data that
references these table entries.
Two examples:
If the unit of weight is changed in the warehouse number control table,
you must change the storage bins with their weight data (field
<DS:DE.LAGP_LGEWI>Maximum weight</>).
The capacity check also calls up different weight data in the
application data screens. If you change the check method in the
storage type control table, this change must be considered in the
application data.
If these corrections are not made, data inconsistencies in the database
can result!

How to fix this error?

Include the changes in the respective application data.
To do this, use the program <DS:RE.RLS10200>RLS10200</>.
Start the program using the menu "System -> Services -> Reporting".
