What causes this issue

Open, unprocessed V3 posting entries still exist. The update of one or
more information structures is to be set or has already been set to V3posting. Information structure &V2& belongs to application &V1&.A change to the update type (no updating, V1-, V2- or V3 posting) can
only be made if there are no open V3 posting entries for the V3function modules of the application. There is also the danger that openposting entries are not updated (change from V3 posting) or are updatedtwice (change to V3 posting) in the information structure &V2& that isaffected by the change.A change from or to V3 posting should therefore only be carried out in
a period in which posting is not carried out after V3 posting has beencarried out (collective run). This also applies to the transport(import and method execution) for a change like this.
Caution: Updating can be deactivated online (change from V3 posting to
no updating), even if open V3 posting entries exist. Afterwards, LISstatistics may be incorrect, and statistical recompilation of data maybe necessary.

System Response

How to fix

Start Collective update (V3) before changing the
update type from or to V3 posting and before a change of this type istransported (import and method execution) so that the open V3 entriesare posted.You can check open V3 posting entries in the Update
overview (V3 update modules with category 'collective run' andstatus INIT).&SYS_ADMIN&
