  • What causes this issue?

    The <LS>Retrieve</> function could not be executed. A possible reason
    is that the document was deleted from the resubmission folder. All
    resubmissions for the document are deleted at the same time. It is
    therefore not helpful to retrieve the document and replace it in the
    resubmission folder.
    Other situations which can lead to this error message:
    The folder from which the document originally comes and from which you
    wish to retrieve it has been deleted.
    You wish to retrieve the document from the outbox. The office settings
    specify a time limit which determines how long a document may remain in
    the outbox. The time between the date the document was last changed and
    the date retrieval was attempted exceeds this time limit.
    You wish to retrieve the document from a shared folder, in which
    documents have a defined life-span. The document has exceeded this
    life-span.

    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?

    Select another folder via <LS>Document -> Move -> Move</>, to which the
    document can be moved.
