How To Fix RMSRCP253 - Change status &1 already exists in the target system

RMSRCP253 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RMSRCP - RMS-RCP: Messages for IPPE Object RCP

• Message number: 253

• Message text: Change status &1 already exists in the target system

What causes this issue?

When recipes are distributed, the change status is to be created in the
target system. This is controlled by the update indicator (I = insert)
in the transfer structure. If this change status already exists in the
target system, the data is not transferred from the transfer structure.

System Response

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?

Since the change status already exists in the target system, you can
only perform the distribution in update mode.
To do so, you only need to change the value of the update indicator in
the structure of the general recipe to "U" (= update). You do not need
to set the update indicator in the lower-level structures.
