• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMM_TIER_PRC009 - Defined tier cannot be deleted due to existing call-off(s) ?

  The SAP error message CMM_TIER_PRC009 indicates that a defined tier cannot be deleted because there are existing call-offs associated with that tier. This typically occurs in the context of contract management or procurement processes where tiers are used to define pricing structures or agreements.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the tier you are trying to delete is still being referenced by one or more call-offs (or purchase orders) in the system. Call-offs are specific requests for goods or services that are made against a contract or agreement, and if they are linked to a tier, the system prevents deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Existing Call-offs:
  
  Use transaction codes like ME33K (Display Contract) or ME2N (Purchase Orders by PO Number) to find any existing call-offs that reference the tier you are trying to delete.
  Check the details of the call-offs to confirm their association with the tier.
  
  
  
  Remove or Modify Call-offs:
  
  If possible, remove or modify the call-offs that are linked to the tier. This may involve canceling the call-offs or changing their reference to a different tier.
  Ensure that any changes comply with your organization's procurement policies.
  
  
  
  Delete the Tier:
  
  Once all associated call-offs have been addressed, you should be able to delete the tier without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting a tier or modifying call-offs, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
