supplier returns', and since these tables are identical, the settings

  Update setting copied for picking/GI
  
  Cause
  This message typically appears during the processing of delivery documents or goods issue (GI) transactions in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) or WM (Warehouse Management) modules.
  
  The system is informing you that the update control settings for the picking or goods issue step have been copied from the delivery document or the preceding step.
  This is not an error in the strict sense but rather an informational or warning message indicating that the update control (which controls how and when data is updated in the system during picking or GI) has been copied or inherited.
  It usually occurs when the system copies the update control settings from the delivery document to the picking or GI document to ensure consistency in data updates.
  Sometimes, this message can appear if there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the update control settings between the delivery and picking/GI documents.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During the creation or processing of outbound deliveries.
  When the system copies update control settings from the delivery to the picking or goods issue step.
