  SAP Message W0079:
  Text:
  Description &1 replaced by description &2
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when a description (text) that you are trying to assign or maintain in SAP is automatically replaced by another description. This typically happens during data maintenance or data upload processes where the system detects that the description you entered or imported conflicts with an existing description or a standard description in the system.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  When maintaining master data (e.g., material master, vendor master) and the system replaces your entered description with a standardized or previously existing description.  
  During data migration or batch input sessions where descriptions are overwritten by system logic or validation rules.  
  When descriptions are standardized or corrected by SAP standard checks or user-exits.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the descriptions: Review both descriptions (&1 and &2) mentioned in the message to understand why the replacement happened.
