Maintenance status of field & does not correspond to status of screen &

Message number: 826

Message text: Maintenance status of field & does not correspond to status of screen &



What causes this issue?

The maintenance status of the specified field is not contained in the
screen's maintenance status. Since the screen's maintenance status is
of key importance in material master maintenance, you must adapt it to
the fields on the screen before continuing. Examples of use of the
screen maintenance status:
The number of views offered for maintenance depends on the screen's
maintenance status. If, for example, a screen has been assigned to the
maintenance status "Sales", though it actually contains only fields
belonging to Purchasing, you cannot select this screen for reference
material type ROH.
If the screen's maintenance status does not correspond to the
maintenance status of the fields, reference data (for example, from
Customizing) may not be copied in full when creating a material master
record since this function depends on the maintenance status of the
fields.
The consistency checks on the data, which are made before updating, are
based on the screen maintenance status.
