Diagnosis
You want to change a status. Settings in Customizing (Documentmanagement -> Control data -> Document status) define that the systemsets the Released indicator for this combination of documentstatus and document type.
As the document is part of a hierarchy, the system checks whether thecurrent status of subordinate documents have this indicator, too.
As this is not the case, the system issues a warning message.

Procedure
Check whether you need to set the status at this point in time. Checkthe status of the subordinate documents if required.
