  The SAP error message CCMM280, which states "Structure gap can be deleted at funct.loc. &1 &2 &3," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost centers, internal orders, or other controlling objects. This message indicates that there is a gap in the structure of the controlling area or cost center hierarchy that can be deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Structure Gaps: The error usually arises when there are gaps in the structure of the cost center hierarchy or other controlling structures. This can happen if cost centers or other objects have been deleted or if there are inconsistencies in the hierarchy.
  Inconsistent Data: The data in the controlling area may not be consistent, leading to gaps that the system identifies as deletable.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area or the way the cost centers are set up.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Hierarchy: Review the cost center hierarchy or the relevant structure to identify any gaps. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., KSH1 for cost centers) and checking the structure.
  Delete Gaps: If you identify gaps that are no longer needed, you can delete them directly from the hierarchy. This can usually be done in the configuration settings or through the relevant transaction codes.
  Reorganize Structures: If necessary, reorganize the structure to ensure that it is consistent and does not contain any gaps. This may involve creating new cost centers or reassigning existing ones.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like KSH2 (Change Cost Center) or KSH3 (Display Cost Center) to manage cost centers and their structures.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing cost center structures and resolving gaps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSH1, KSH2, KSH3, and others related to controlling and cost center management.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the cost center hierarchy or controlling area.
  Testing Changes: Always test changes in a development or quality assurance environment before applying them to production to avoid unintended consequences.
