• Message number: 056

• Message text: Object & & does not require documentation

What causes this issue?

You have chosen an object for editing which is "not to be documented"
for one of the following reasons:
it is <ZH>adequately explained</> by its short text.
it <ZH>not yet to be documented</>.
it is a data element which <ZH>is not used in any screens</>.

System Response

It is not possible to create documentation.

How to fix this error?

If you decide you still want to document this object, you must remove
this flag. To do this, proceed as follows:
Choose the appropriate document class in the initial screen of the
documentation maintenance transaction (<LS>Tools</> -> <LS>Case</> ->
<LS>Development</> -> <LS>Documentation</>).
Enter the object name generically (to generate a list) and choose
<LS>Enter</> or <LS>Change</>.
Select the category <ZH>Objects not to be documented</> in the dialog
box and choose <LS>Continue</>.
Position the cursor on the object you require.
Select the function <LS>Reactivate object</>.
RESET N1
You can also use this function in the work list. However, this only
makes sense if the object is already included in a work list, as
generating a work list takes longer than creating a generic list.
