This message is typically informational rather than an error, meaning it is not necessarily indicative of a problem that needs to be resolved. However, it can arise in specific contexts where the system is trying to establish or update relationships between suppliers and their contact persons.

  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to automatically create default relationships under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Relationships: Check the relationships between suppliers and contact persons in the SRM system to ensure they are set up correctly. If the default relationship is not appropriate, you may need to manually adjust or delete it.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being entered for suppliers and contact persons is accurate and complete. This can help prevent unnecessary default relationships from being created.
  Configuration Review: If this message is causing confusion or issues, review the configuration settings in the SRM system to determine if the automatic creation of default relationships can be modified or disabled.
