This message is typically informational and does not imply that there is a problem that needs to be resolved.
  Cause:
  
  The message is triggered when a separation process is executed in the SAP system, and it indicates that the process has been completed without any issues.

  Verify that the separation was intended and that all necessary parameters were set correctly before executing the separation.
  Check the results of the separation to ensure that they align with your expectations.
