Message text: Change version type &1 after &2 not possible



What causes this issue?

You want to change version type &v1& to &v2&. This is not possible if
all cross-version fields of the new version type were already
cross-version in the old version type.
Example 1:
In this example, it is not possible to change the version type because
the field MARA-BTGEW is not assigned to the old version type.
Old version type fields:
MARA-MEINS, MARA-GEWEI, MARC-EKGRP
New version type fields:
MARA-MEINS, MARA-GEWEI, MARA-BTGEW
Example 2:
In this example it is possible to change the version type.
Old version type fields:
MARA-MEINS, MARA-GEWEI, MARC-EKGRP
New version type fields:
MARA-MEINS, MARA-GEWEI

How to fix this error?

old version type.
