1. Open the "Manage Output Items" app.
2. When trying to duplicate an EDI output message using the "Duplicate" button.
3. Error message "Item '1': 'Duplicate' is not available for channel EDI" occurs.

EDI messages are part of a business application scenario and, due to technical limitations in the infrastructure, cannot be duplicated—hence, attempting to do so via the "Manage Output Items" app results in a standard system error. 

1. Use the "Change Billing Documents" app to manually add new output lines with the same output type and channel EDI.
2. Retry output messages via the "Change Billing Documents" app to set the status to "To Be Output" for proper reprocessing and sending.
