  • What causes this issue?

    You have cancelled the "Flag processed change pointers for
    reorganization" indicator for the current program run. However, since
    you have selected all document categories, it would normally be
    necessary to flag the changes for deletion.
    You can use the indicator to determine whether the processed condition
    record changes are marked as "closed" following successful generation
    of the worklist for document adjustment, thus earmarking them for
    subsequent reorganization (deletion). This ensures that each change is
    processed once only.
    As a rule, all document categories for which automatic document
    adjustment has been defined in your enterprise should always be
    processed if the indicator is set (automatic processing of all relevant
    documents).
    In certain cases, it may be necessary to process individual document
    categories in advance. In order to ensure that non-processed document
    categories can be processed in a subsequent workstep, the indicator
    must not be set. You would otherwise delete change pointers that are
    still relevant to other document categories.

    System Response

    The program draws your attention to the possibly serious consequences
    of your selection (duplicated processing of document categories and
    documents in subsequent processing).

    How to fix this error?

    Please check that the cancellation of the indicator is intentional.
