How to fix this error?

System clears the Subcontracting flag
If you want to create an A&D Subcontracting relevant order
containing a discontinued material as component, you can:
- exit the transaction and create a new order and set the subcontracting
flag before you add the discontinued material to the components or
- delete the operation and set the subcontracting flag before the
discontinued material set as component or
- delete the follow-up material among the components list and set the
subcontracting flag afterwards.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
