• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APO_BAPI091 - Location cannot be deleted because of existing TSP assignment ?

  The SAP error message APO_BAPI091 indicates that a location cannot be deleted because there are existing Transportation Service Provider (TSP) assignments associated with that location. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to remove a location that is still linked to TSPs in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the location you are trying to delete has active assignments to TSPs. These assignments are necessary for transportation planning and logistics processes, and SAP prevents the deletion of locations that are still in use to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify TSP Assignments:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TSP or navigate through the relevant menu paths to check the TSP assignments for the location in question.
  You can also use the transaction code /SAPAPO/LOC to view the details of the location and its associated TSPs.
  
  
  
  Remove TSP Assignments:
  
  If you confirm that the TSP assignments are no longer needed, you can remove them. This can typically be done in the TSP assignment screen by selecting the relevant assignments and deleting them.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Delete the Location:
  
  Once all TSP assignments have been removed, you can attempt to delete the location again using the appropriate transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/LOC).
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Before deleting, ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the location in other areas of the system (e.g., transportation lanes, planning books, etc.).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for APO and TSP management for detailed steps and guidelines.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/TSP, /SAPAPO/LOC, and others that may assist in managing locations and TSPs.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to view and modify TSP assignments and locations.
  Testing: If you are working in a production environment, consider testing the deletion process in a development or quality assurance environment first to avoid unintended disruptions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully delete the location in question.
