  SAP Error Message:
  W4076 & : & plant is vendor in purchasing info records
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to delete or change a plant that is assigned as a vendor in the Purchasing Info Records (PIR). In SAP, a plant can also act as a vendor if it supplies materials internally within the company. The system prevents deletion or certain changes to the plant because it is referenced as a vendor in purchasing info records, which would lead to inconsistent data or broken references.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Purchasing Info Records (PIR) link materials and vendors, providing conditions and other data for procurement.
  If a plant is maintained as a vendor in PIR (for example, in intercompany or in-house procurement scenarios), it means the plant supplies materials internally.
  Attempting to delete or modify the plant without first removing or adjusting these references causes the system to issue this warning.
