  The SAP error message APEO022 typically indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of a specific entry related to an enterprise organization. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to delete a master data record (like a vendor, customer, or material) that is linked to an enterprise organization.
  Cause:
  The error message "APEO022 Program position & is assigned to enterp. org. - deletion not possible" usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
