• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CPD/PFP_MESSAGES355 - Structure element of financial plan &1 is deleted ?

  The SAP error message /CPD/PFP_MESSAGES355 indicates that a structure element of a financial plan has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of financial planning and budgeting within SAP, particularly when using the SAP Controlling (CO) module or the SAP Financial Planning (FP) module.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Structure Element: The error arises when a financial planning structure element (like a cost center, internal order, or any other planning object) that is referenced in a financial plan has been deleted from the system.
  Data Consistency Issues: If the financial plan was created based on a structure that has since been modified or deleted, it can lead to inconsistencies in the data.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one environment to another (e.g., from development to production) and the structure element was not included in the transport, it could lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Structure Elements: Verify if the structure element referenced in the error message still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., KP06 for cost planning) and checking the structure.
  Restore Deleted Elements: If the structure element was deleted unintentionally, you may need to restore it. This could involve recreating the element or restoring it from a backup if available.
  Update Financial Plan: If the structure element is no longer needed, you may need to update the financial plan to remove references to the deleted element. This can involve adjusting the planning data or reassigning it to a valid structure element.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the missing elements.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to financial planning and structure elements for any specific guidance or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
