What causes this issue?

You want to make a workflow-relevant change to document item &V1& &V2&
(for example, change the account assignment or the reference to the
previous document). This critical change would mean that the complete
document amount would have to be approved again. As there are already
value adjustments or follow-on documents for this document item, you can
reapprove the document without the value adjustments becoming invalid.

System Response

As value adjustments are themselves documents, this action is not
allowed.

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

How to fix this error?

You can set the document item to completed and enter a new item.
