• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_FLLW_MSG455 - Main line item cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_FLLW_MSG455 indicating "Main line item cannot be deleted" typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling processes, particularly when dealing with line items in documents that are part of a financial transaction or posting.
  Cause:
  
  Main Line Item Status: The line item you are trying to delete may be a main line item that is not allowed to be deleted due to its status. Main line items often represent critical financial data that must be preserved for auditing and reporting purposes.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types in SAP have restrictions on deleting line items. If the document type does not allow deletion of main line items, this error will occur.
  Dependencies: The line item may have dependencies with other documents or transactions, making it impossible to delete without affecting the integrity of the financial data.
  Posting Period: If the posting period is closed, you may not be able to delete line items from documents that belong to that period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Line Item Type: Verify if the line item is indeed a main line item. If it is, consider whether it is necessary to delete it or if adjustments can be made instead.
  Review Document Type Settings: Check the configuration of the document type in use to see if it allows for the deletion of main line items. If not, consult with your SAP administrator or financial team to understand the implications of this restriction.
  Adjustments Instead of Deletion: If deletion is not possible, consider making a correcting entry or adjustment to the line item instead of deleting it. This maintains the integrity of the financial records.
  Check Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open. If it is closed, you may need to reopen it or make adjustments in a subsequent period.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to your version of SAP and the context in which you are working.
