• Message number: 358

• Message text: Are there any forms/styles which use this system barcode?

What causes this issue?

The user would like to delete a system barcode.

System Response

The system sends a warning message as it is not possible to check
whether the system barcode is still being used in existing forms
(styles) when deleting system barcodes. If this is the case, these
forms (styles) can no longer be activated once the barcode has been
deleted. Printer output with these forms (styles) is therefore no
longer possible.

How to fix this error?

Never delete system barcodes from the SAP standard version. If a
customer-specific system barcode is involved or one created for test
purposes, remove the system barcode from the forms (styles) affected
before you delete it.
