Component : CA Endevor Software Change Manager

Resolution

The reason for the message is that there is an Approver Group associated to that inventory area.  If the Approver Group relationship is set up correctly, the a package must be used to perform the action.   This is true even if the Approver Group has a Quorum size of 0.   If the Approver Group relationship is in error, then remove the relation to that inventory.
