How To Fix OAA_VENDOR028 - This report has an impact on your live system

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OAA_VENDOR - Message Class for Vendor Integration

• Message number: 028

• Message text: This report has an impact on your live system

Caution
Deleting specific entries in the uploaded vendor stock information may
lead to a situation where no stock information is available for
article/vendor combinations that have become invalid but have not been
updated as such in the system yet. However, with vendors as sources, the
default is that no stock information is interpreted as infinite stock,
which, in this case, is the opposite of what is intended.
To avoid this situation, update eligible vendors in SAP Customer
Activity Repository and adjust BAdI BADI_OAA_VENDOR_ASSORTMENT before
executing the report.
