This error is often encountered in the context of specific modules, such as Project Management (PM) or Asset Accounting (AA), where document categories are used to classify and manage different types of documents.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error usually arises when there is no assignment defined for a specific document category to a transaction type in the system. This can happen if the configuration was not completed or if it was inadvertently changed or deleted.
  Obsolete Customization: The term "OBSOLETE" suggests that there may be outdated or deprecated customizations in the system that are no longer valid or supported.
