• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 881029 - Selected fraction(s) are still assigned to an internal fraction ?

  The SAP error message 881029, which states "Selected fraction(s) are still assigned to an internal fraction," typically occurs in the context of managing fractions in SAP, particularly in the areas of materials management or production planning. This error indicates that the fractions you are trying to delete or modify are still linked to an internal fraction, which prevents the action from being completed.
  Cause:
  
  Active Assignments: The fractions you are attempting to modify or delete are still assigned to an internal fraction. This means that there are dependencies or relationships that need to be resolved first.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that no orphaned records are left in the system. If a fraction is still in use, it cannot be removed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Assignments: 
  
  Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or CS03 (Display BOM) to check if the fractions are still assigned to any internal fractions or materials.
  Look for any dependencies or links that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  If you find that the fractions are indeed assigned, you will need to remove these assignments first. This can typically be done in the relevant transaction where the assignment was made.
  For example, if the fractions are part of a Bill of Materials (BOM), you may need to go to CS02 (Change BOM) and remove the fraction from the BOM.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  Once you have removed all assignments, try to perform the action again that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the specific fractions or their assignments, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If your organization has custom developments or enhancements in SAP, check if there are any custom validations or logic that might be causing this error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03, CS03, CS02, and others that pertain to material management and BOMs.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the fractions and their assignments.
  Testing in Development: If possible, replicate the issue in a development or test environment to better understand the cause without affecting production data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message 881029 in SAP. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
