In Customizing, you can define that you do not use this document
category at all, or do not use it with subsequent business volume
update.
In this case, the program does not check the document category (improves
performance). In addition, this message is no longer issued.

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