SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PAIS - Messages for PA-IS (Ad Hoc Query etc.)

• Message number: 023

• Message text: The additional fields in the InfoSet are already up-to-date

What causes this issue?

The system performed a check to determine whether infotypes in the
InfoSet have new additional fields that need to be included in the
InfoSet, and whether the InfoSet still contains old additional fields
that no longer exist. The result of the check was negative.
Additional fields are defined in Pnnnn_AF structures (nnnn = infotype
number) and calculated by function modules (RPAQ_GET_AF_nnnn). An entry
is also required in table T770AF for customer-specific additional
fields.
