Set message MEPO 852 to warning

Question

Hello All,
My issue is as follows...
We have maintained vendor rebate agreement for our vendor. Purchase order is created for a vendor for which vendor rebate agreement is maintained. purchase order was put on "Hold" for the first time. Then user has again strated editing the PO and wanted to keep it on hold, but system has thrown an error message " MEPO852" "**You cannot put purchase order for volume rebate processing on hold" and not allowing to put PO on hold.
Hence, I set this message as a warning message, however systenm is still giving this error.
Could you please let me know what needs to be done to suppress this error and why system is still giving this error?
Thanks in advance.

You only need to read the note carefully. That's all.
As per my understanding the note is about of replacement of message MEPO036 with three other messages in order to give more sepcific information for users. One of the new messages is MEPO852.
You cannot put purchase order for volume rebate processing on hold.
This clearly says you CANNOT.
If you check the code of include M06EF0P_PRUEFEN (attached to the note), you can see that the "e" (error; e852(mepo)) is hard coded in the program code:
    IF gf_no_hold NE space.                                 "1158138
      exitflag = 'X'.
      MESSAGE e851(mepo).
    ELSEIF gf_bon_exi NE space.
      exitflag = 'X'.
      MESSAGE e852(mepo).
    ELSEIF gf_third_party_exists NE space.
      exitflag = 'X'.
      MESSAGE e853(mepo).
    ENDIF.                                                  "1158138
