How To Fix M5290 - You cannot change the update type due to open V3 updates

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M5 - LIS: Standard Analyses (Inventory Controlling Doc. Analysis)

• Message number: 290

• Message text: You cannot change the update type due to open V3 updates

What causes this issue?

Open, unprocessed V3 posting entries still exist. The update of one or
more information structures is to be set or has already been set to V3
posting. Information structure &V2& belongs to application &V1&.
A change to the update type (no updating, V1-, V2- or V3 posting) can
only be made if there are no open V3 posting entries for the V3
function modules of the application. There is also the danger that open
posting entries are not updated (change from V3 posting) or are updated
twice (change to V3 posting) in the information structure &V2& that is
affected by the change.
A change from or to V3 posting should therefore only be carried out in
a period in which posting is not carried out after V3 posting has been
carried out (collective run). This also applies to the transport
(import and method execution) for a change like this.

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

Caution: Updating can be deactivated online (change from V3 posting to
no updating), even if open V3 posting entries exist. Afterwards, LIS
statistics may be incorrect, and statistical recompilation of data may
be necessary.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Start <DS:TRAN.MC3V>Collective update (V3)</> before changing the
update type from or to V3 posting and before a change of this type is
transported (import and method execution) so that the open V3 entries
are posted.
You can check open V3 posting entries in the <DS:TRAN.SM13>Update
overview</> (V3 update modules with category 'collective run' and
status INIT).
