  SAP Error Message: VN080
  Message Text:
  
  Event & was created for object & (object type &) - Demand source found
  
  1. Cause
  This message occurs during the creation of a vendor evaluation event (or a similar event related to procurement) when the system detects that the object (such as a purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement) for which the event is being created has an associated demand source.
  
  Demand source means that the procurement document is linked to a demand element in the system, such as a purchase requisition, planned order, or production order.
  The system is informing you that an event has been created for an object that is linked to a demand source, which might affect how the evaluation or event processing is handled.
  
  This is typically an informational or warning message indicating that the event creation is influenced by the demand source linkage.
  
  2. Solution
  
  
  Review the demand source linkage:
  
  Check the procurement document (e.g., purchase order) to understand which demand source it is linked to. You can do this by looking at the item details or using transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) and checking the "Account Assignment" or "Purchase Requisition" fields.
  
  
  Verify if the event creation is expected:
  
  If the event creation is intentional and the demand source linkage is correct, this message can be considered informational, and no further action is needed.
  
  
  Adjust vendor evaluation settings if necessary:
  
  If the demand source linkage causes unwanted behavior in vendor evaluation or event processing, you may need to adjust the evaluation criteria or event creation rules in customizing (SPRO) under Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Vendor Evaluation.
  
  
  Consult with functional team:
  
  If unsure, consult with your MM (Materials Management) or vendor evaluation consultant to verify if the event creation logic aligns with your business process.
