• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ_PR_COLL_IND005 - Collective PR Indicator & is already assigned; Deletion not possible ?

  The SAP error message CJ_PR_COLL_IND005 indicates that a collective purchase requisition (PR) indicator is already assigned to a purchase requisition, and therefore, it cannot be deleted. This error typically arises in the context of project management and procurement processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with collective purchase requisitions.
  Cause:
  
  Collective Purchase Requisition: The purchase requisition you are trying to delete is part of a collective purchase requisition. This means it is linked to other requisitions or is part of a larger procurement process.
  Assignment: The system has detected that the PR is already assigned to a collective indicator, which prevents its deletion to maintain data integrity and avoid inconsistencies in procurement processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Assignment: Verify if the purchase requisition is indeed part of a collective requisition. You can do this by checking the details of the PR in the SAP system.
  Remove from Collective PR: If you need to delete the PR, you must first remove it from the collective purchase requisition. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the collective purchase requisition in the system.
  Editing the collective requisition to remove the specific PR.
  
  
  Consult with Team: If you are unsure about the implications of removing the PR from the collective requisition, consult with your procurement or project management team to ensure that it is appropriate to do so.
  Use Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) or ME54N (Release Purchase Requisition) to manage the requisition as needed.
  
  Related Information:
