How To Fix PIC01614 - Earlier releases could not be read

PIC01614 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PIC01 - Parts Interchangeability Message Class

• Message number: 614

• Message text: Earlier releases could not be read

What causes this issue?

Table AVERS contains a list of all earlier IS releases. This table is
not maintained in your system.
This information is not necessary for carrying out an XPRA, which
converts data for parts interchangeability from your old data into a
new table.

System Response

The system could not convert possible old data.

How to fix this error?

If no relevant old data exists, this report does not have to be
repeated. Old data to be converted can only appear for the source
release A<(>&<)>D3.0A or A<(>&<)>D 3.0B. If this is the case, you can
determine whether you are affected by the conversion, in the following
way:
Using transaction SE16 read the contents of tables MPNSET and TMEX. If
you find an entry in one of the tables, then you must carry out the
report again later. Using this transaction, read table MARA. If there
are entries for which the field MARA-IMATN is filled, then you must
carry out the report again later.
If you are affected by the conversion, make the entries in table AVERS
again, according to your previous release.

Procedure for System Administrators

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