• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_CUS_PCN024 - Type &1 cannot be deleted; status transition on release is assigned ?

  The SAP error message CMS_CUS_PCN024 indicates that a specific type of object (denoted by &1) cannot be deleted because it is currently assigned to a status transition that is in the "release" state. This typically occurs in the context of Change Management or similar processes where certain objects are linked to workflows or status transitions that prevent their deletion.
  
  Cause:
  
  Assigned Status Transition: The object you are trying to delete is linked to a status transition that is currently active or in a released state. This means that the object is part of a process that is not yet complete or has dependencies that need to be resolved.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that deleting an object does not lead to inconsistencies in the system. If an object is part of a workflow or process, it cannot be deleted until those dependencies are cleared.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the status transitions
