I think you get “Message EA506 - The release of the basis types cannot be reset” in WE30.

In this case since the IDOC type was release in a different version, you need to create a new version of IDOC type as successor OR you can extend the IDOC. To me if it is a Z* IDOC type, it is better to create a new one.

I’m having the same problem, but I’m trying to add new new segment to an existing IDOC type. I’m getting ‘ZE_ISU_ENROLL has already been released, only display possible’. There is not an option for ‘Add Version’ in WE30. It’s only available in WE31, changing segment. Does anyone has any suggestion?

Thanks!

David Li gave extra information for the forum question: Idoc Segment Cancel release error

The reason that you are getting these errors is that you cannot cancel
the release of an extension made in previous version e.g. 4.6C. Instead you have to
create a new extension.

It is not possible to change a segment definition which is released in a
lower release. This is a basic concept of our release strategy to
guarantee compatibility between different releases.

You must create a new segment definition for the new release e.g. 620 with a new segment
field with the appropriate length. In transaction WE20, outbound parameters, you can specify
the “segment release in IDoc type” for the communication. Please read the F1 help of this field for further
information.

For your own segments you can define a new version of the segment via
transaction WE31 -> Add Version (Shift+F5).

Please review your online help for more information on this and related topics.

Hope this information helps.
