This issue is caused when you make a change to a release strategy that is already in use.

• You must absolutely avoid changes to release strategy customizing once the release strategy is in use. Please read question 6 of note 365604 about this.

• If you have to introduce such a change you should do as follows:
  
  
  • make sure all of the old purchase requisitions have been released.
  
  
  • create a new release strategy with the copy function and extend the new release strategy as required
  
  
  • don't delete the original release strategy 
  
  
  
• This way the open purchasing documents will be unaffected by the changes.
