SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MDG_BS_CUS_CHECK - MDGC: messages for check of customer data, message mapping

• Message number: 133

• Message text: Customer &1 is marked for deletion in sales area &2 &3 &4

What causes this issue?

Note that although the default severity of this message is ?Warning?,
its impact on whether or not data maintenance is possible within this
user interface depends on the message severity Customizing settings that
are made for message 133 of message class F2.

System Response

If the severity of message F2 ? 133 is defined as an error, a
corresponding information message is shown in MDG (not an error
message). An error would prevent data maintenance in general, which
would be an invalid behavior.
Instead, the sales area being marked for deletion can only be unmarked.
All other sales areas not being marked for deletion can be maintained as
usual on all attributes
If the severity of F2 ? 133 is anything other than an error (such as
?Warning? or ?Information?), then the corresponding data can still be
maintained for the business partner.

How to fix this error?

If you need to change this behavior, contact your system administrator
to configure the severity of system message F2 ? 133 in the SAP
Customizing Implementation Guide under <ZK>Logistics - General ->
Business Partner -> Customers -> Control -> Change Message Control for
Customer Master Data</>.
