• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL092 - Deleted organizational areas are in use ?

  The SAP error message CL092: Deleted organizational areas are in use typically occurs when you attempt to perform an action that involves an organizational area (such as a cost center, profit center, or other organizational unit) that has been marked as deleted in the system but is still being referenced in some way.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Organizational Units: The organizational area you are trying to use has been marked as deleted in the system. This could happen if the unit was deactivated or removed from the system but still has references in transactions or master data.
  Existing References: There may be existing transactions, documents, or master data that still reference the deleted organizational area, which prevents the system from allowing further actions involving that area.
  Data Inconsistency: There might be inconsistencies in the data where the system still recognizes the deleted organizational area due to incomplete updates or data synchronization issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify References: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the database tables for any references to the deleted organizational area. Common tables to check include:
  
  CSKS (Cost Center Master Data)
  CSKT (Cost Center Texts)
  CE1xxxx (Profit Center Master Data)
  COSP (CO Object: Cost Totals for Internal Postings)
  COSS (CO Object: Cost Totals for External Postings)

  Check Configuration: Ensure that your organizational structure is correctly configured and that there are no inconsistencies in the settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for specific steps related to your version of SAP and the organizational structure in use.
