How To Fix TK163 - Dependencies between switches not fulfilled (see long text)

TK163 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TK - Transport Organizer

• Message number: 163

• Message text: Dependencies between switches not fulfilled (see long text)

What causes this issue?

A dependency exists between the project status switch for the project
object list and the project intersections. If the project object list is
not updated, then no conflicts with other projects can be identified
(invalid setting).
The following settings are valid:
Project Object List ,, Project Intersection,,Description
on,, on,,Standard
on,, off,,No intersections
off,, off,,Permanent project
off,, on,,Invalid setting

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

Description of Settings
Standard: The objects in the requests of a project are placed in the
project object list. If objects are edited in two projects, a sequence
is proposed between the requests of different projects.
No intersections: As with the standard setting, the project object list
contains all objects edited in the requests of a project. Objects
included in two projects are no longer serialized by the requests.
Permanent project: The project has no planned end, and is used mainly to
select the requests in the import queue of the follow-on system. The
project object list is not updated, and there is no dependency check
between projects.
Invalid setting: No dependency check can be made between projects
without a project object list

System Response

Your change is an invalid setting, which is rejected.

How to fix this error?

Change the switches in a different order, or change multiple switches
simultaneously, so that the setting is valid.
