• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 881115 - Deletion of only fraction assignment of packaging is not possible ?

  The SAP error message 881115, "Deletion of only fraction assignment of packaging is not possible," typically occurs in the context of handling packaging materials and their assignments in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is an attempt to delete a fraction assignment of a packaging material, but the system does not allow this action because it is not a complete deletion of the packaging assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Fraction Assignment: The error arises when there is an attempt to delete only a fraction of a packaging assignment without removing the entire packaging assignment.
  Incomplete Deletion: The system requires that if you want to delete a packaging assignment, you must delete the entire assignment rather than just a part of it (i.e., a fraction).
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or links to other objects or processes that prevent the deletion of just a fraction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Packaging Assignments: Review the packaging assignments in the system. Ensure that you are attempting to delete the entire packaging assignment rather than just a fraction.
  Delete Entire Assignment: If you need to remove a packaging assignment, use the appropriate transaction or function to delete the entire assignment instead of just a part of it.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any dependencies or links to other materials or processes that might be preventing the deletion. Resolve any issues before attempting to delete the packaging assignment again.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing packaging assignments and handling deletions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM02 (Change Material) or MM03 (Display Material) to manage packaging assignments.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to packaging and fraction assignments that might provide additional insights or solutions.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletions in the system, as restrictions may lead to errors.
  Testing in a Sandbox: If possible, test the deletion process in a sandbox environment to understand the implications and ensure that you are following the correct procedure.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in materials management and packaging processes.
