What causes this issue?

You can only process the classification of characteristics for a
process batch at the highest level. However, the selected process batch
&V4& is not at the highest level.

System Response

The system displays the classification of the process batch, but cannot
change it.
Subsequent process batches exist for the selected process batch &V4&
(for example as a result of a split of the process batch). As a
result, it is no longer at the highest level.
As a result you are no longer able to carry out the following functions
for this process batch:
@14@ <ZK>Copy process batch</>
@11@ <ZK>Delete process batch</>
@C8@ <ZK>Merge process batches</>
@58@ <ZK>Split process batches</>
You can only use these functions for process batches at the top level.
<ZH>&HINT&</>
You can use function @4I@ <ZK>B-O</> to display an overview of the
subsequent process batches for process batch &V4&.

How to fix this error?

If you want to process the process batch &V4& with one of the functions
listed above, you must first delete all subsequent process batches. If
you do this, start with the process batch at the highest level.
