  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: RQ - Messages for Cash Management and Forecast

  • Message number: 049

  • Message text: Function not possible because memo record & is archived or has expired

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The system does not support the "Change planning type" function for
    memo records that have expired or are already archived, but supports it
    only for activated memo records.
    This limitation is necessary because you can specify separately whether
    or not automatic expiration is defined for each planning type. If the
    old memo record has a planning type that expires but the new record
    does not, the memo record is reactivated by the copy function because
    the new record has no expiration and is therefore activated until it is
    archived.

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