• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP413 - Sub-operations in referenced operation sets cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message CP413 ("Sub-operations in referenced operation sets cannot be deleted") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with operations and sub-operations in a routing or production order. This error indicates that you are trying to delete a sub-operation that is part of a referenced operation set, which is not allowed in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  Referenced Operation Sets: The sub-operation you are trying to delete is part of an operation set that is being referenced elsewhere in the system. This could be due to dependencies in production orders, routings, or other related objects.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that operations and their relationships are maintained correctly. Deleting a sub-operation that is still in use can lead to inconsistencies in the production process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the sub-operation, check if it is being used in any active production orders or routings.
