  • What causes this issue?

    An update in the <GL:Logistics_Information_System>Logistics
    Information System</> is only possible for settlement management
    documents, such as supplier billing documents and settlement documents
    <(>,<)> once the document has been released to Financial Accounting.
    This also applies to the updating of business volume as part of
    <DS:GLOS.3526C095AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>subsequent settlement</>.
    However, accounting status &V2& (&V3&) of document &V1& indicates that:
    The document has not been released to Financial Accounting.
    A release to Financial Accounting is not defined for the document
    category.
    The document cannot be released to Financial Accounting because of an
    incorrect setting.

    System Response

    The update data cannot be created and may be missing for follow-on
    functions. Depending on the status of the document, updating may not be
    necessary (e.g. status closed because the document is reversed).

    How to fix this error?

    Please look into this matter. If necessary, release document &V1& to
    Financial Accounting or correct any errors.
    If the document is not supposed to be released to Financial Accounting,
    the update is carried out from another document (list or individual
    document), to avoid double updating.

    Procedure for System Administrators

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

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
