• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AM047 - Last address deleted, all changes were saved ?

  The SAP error message AM047 ("Last address deleted, all changes were saved") typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) when you are trying to delete the last address associated with an asset master record. This message indicates that the system has successfully deleted the address, but since it was the last address, it is notifying you that all changes have been saved.
  Cause:
  
  Last Address Deletion: The error is triggered when you attempt to delete the last address linked to an asset. In SAP, every asset must have at least one address associated with it. If you try to delete the last one, the system will not allow it to remain without an address.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules, which means that certain actions (like deleting the last address) are restricted to ensure that the asset master data remains valid.
  
  Solution:
  
  Re-add an Address: If you need to delete an address, ensure that you have another valid address to replace it. You can add a new address before deleting the existing one.
  Check Address Requirements: Review the asset master data requirements in your organization. Ensure that you are complying with the necessary address data for asset records.
  Review Configuration: If you believe this behavior is incorrect, check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting module to ensure that the address management settings are correctly defined.
