  SAP Message W0160:
  "Do not set the indicator 'Do not prepare follow-on material'"
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to perform an operation (such as creating or processing a production order, maintenance order, or a similar document) where the system detects that the indicator "Do not prepare follow-on material" is set, but the process you are attempting requires follow-on material to be prepared.
