• The SAP error message "28483 Non-essential restriction for characteristic &1 ignored" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where characteristics and restrictions are used to define planning scenarios.
  
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that a non-essential restriction for a characteristic (denoted by &1) is being ignored by the system.

  Review the Restrictions: Check the restrictions defined for the characteristic in question. Ensure that they are necessary and relevant to the planning process. If they are not essential, consider whether they need to be included at all.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If the restriction is important but is being treated as non-essential, you may need to adjust the planning parameters
