• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61498 - Run sched. hdr &1 cannot be deleted because run sched. qty still exists ?

  The SAP error message 61498 indicates that a run schedule header (RSH) cannot be deleted because there are still quantities associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of production planning or scheduling, where a run schedule header is linked to specific quantities that have been planned or executed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a run schedule header (RSH) that has associated quantities in the system. This could happen for several reasons:
  
  Open Orders: There are open production orders or process orders linked to the run schedule header.
  Confirmed Quantities: Quantities have been confirmed against the run schedule, meaning that production has already taken place.
  Dependencies: Other scheduling or planning objects may depend on the run schedule header, preventing its deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Open Orders:
  
  Use transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to check if there are any open production orders linked to the run schedule header.
  If there are open orders, you may need to close or delete them before you can delete the run schedule header.
  
  
  
  Review Confirmed Quantities:
  
  Check if there are any confirmed quantities against the run schedule. You can do this by reviewing the production confirmations in the system.
  If confirmations exist, you may need to reverse or delete these confirmations before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Investigate if there are any other objects (like process orders, planned orders, etc.) that are dependent on the run schedule header.
  You can use transaction MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to see if there are any dependencies.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction C223 (Change Run Schedule Header) to view the details of the run schedule header and see what quantities are still associated with it.
  If necessary, you can also use C220 (Display Run Schedule Header) to get more information.
  
  
  
  Delete Associated Quantities:
  
  If you find that there are quantities that can be deleted or adjusted, do so before attempting to delete the run schedule header again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting certain orders or quantities, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO03, CO02, C223, C220, and MD04.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete production orders or run schedule headers in your SAP environment.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
