SAP message number 121 within class LR - Cancelation: no confirmation segment for CATS document & (-> long text)








Messsage Text for 121(LR)

Cancelation: no confirmation segment for CATS document & (-> long text)


What causes this issue?
The system has attempted to access a confirmation document for a CATS document in the target component (PM/PS/CS). The confirmation document should exist but cannot be found. There are three possible reasons for this:
  • The update task, which creates the CATS document you want to cancel in the target component, has not finished posting the data. Therefore, the document you want to cancel is not available. The error should not appear for this document the next time the data is transferred.

  • Due to an error, the CATS document you want to cancel was not posted to the target component and was written to a postprocessing pool. Once postprocessing has been successfully completed, the document should be available in the target component. The error should not appear for this document the next time the data is transferred.

  • The data is not consistent. If the message continues to appear, check whether the data is consistent.


    • System Response
    The system issues a message in the transfer log.

    How to fix the issue?
    Depending on the cause of the error, you should either
    Repeat the transfer
    Postprocess the data, then repeat the transfer
