• Message class: EAMS_BO - Business Object Layer

• Message number: 028

• Message text: Dependent fields were changed automatically; check entries

Decide whether or not you want to accept the value from the referred
business object.
If you do not (in other words, the value you entered in the dependent
field is correct and desired in the current context), re-enter the value
in the dependent field without changing the related business object. The
system then accepts your entry and saves your data as entered.
In the above example, you would check whether your manual entry MAT01 or
the value MAT99 inherited from technical object MyEqui is correct in the
current context. If MAT01 (your manual entry) is the right value,
re-enter MAT01 in the <LS>Material Number</> field without changing the
value in the <LS>Technical Object</> field. The system then accepts
material number MAT01 together with technical object MyEqui, although
MyEqui defines a different material number (MAT99).
