Cause

1. You are passing the element <ReleaseCustomerRequest>true</ReleaseCustomerRequest in your payload

The 'RELEASE_CUSTOMER_REQUEST' action does not relate to the actual releasing of a sales order. The tag <ReleaseCustomerRequest>true</ReleaseCustomerRequest> is sent in the request payload to ensure the created sales order is visible on the UI if you activate the scoping Would you like your customers to confirm sales orders that originate from an E-Shop with information calculated in the SAP solution?
In this case in your first call you would pass the ReleaseCustomerRequest as false to avoid that the order will appear in the UI for processing. When the customer confirms the sales order in the E-Shop you would send a second call with the ReleaseCustomerRequest as true to make it visible in the UI for processing.

 

2. You are passing the element <FinishFulfilmentProcessing>true</FinishFulfilmentProcessing> for the item.

Resolution

Please adjust your payload accordingly and the warning will not appear anymore.
