• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD232 - Object & was not deleted ?

  The SAP error message AD232 ("Object & was not deleted") typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete an object (such as a transport request, program, or other repository objects) in the SAP system, but the deletion process fails for some reason. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process. This can prevent the deletion from being completed.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the object may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  Dependencies: The object may have dependencies or references in other objects that prevent it from being deleted.
  Transport Request Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself, such as it being released or not properly imported.
  System Errors: There may be underlying system errors or inconsistencies that are preventing the deletion.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the object. If you find any locks, you may need to wait for the other user to release the lock or contact them to do so.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the object. You can check this using transaction code SU53 after the error occurs.
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the object has dependencies. You can use transaction codes like SE80 or SE11 to analyze the object and its relationships.
  Transport Request Status: If the object is part of a transport request, check the status of the transport request using transaction code SE09 or SE10. Ensure that the transport request is not released or in a state that prevents deletion.
  System Consistency Check: If you suspect system errors, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate further.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE09/SE10 (Transport Organizer), and SM12 (Lock Entries).
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the AD232 error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for the specific object type you are trying to delete, as there may be specific guidelines or restrictions.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
