• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DFS_FE_COMMON030 - Delimit is not allowed, subordinate unit '&' is in submitted status. ?

  The SAP error message DFS_FE_COMMON030 indicates that a subordinate unit (such as a cost center, internal order, or project) is in a "submitted" status, which prevents the system from allowing a "delimit" operation. This typically occurs in the context of managing organizational structures or planning data in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delimit (i.e., end the validity of) a subordinate unit that is currently in a status that does not permit such an action. The "submitted" status usually means that the unit is part of a process that is pending approval or is currently being processed in a workflow.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Subordinate Unit:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code KP06 for cost centers) and check the status of the subordinate unit that is causing the error.
  Ensure that it is not in a "submitted" or "pending" status.
  
  
  
  Change the Status:
  
  If the unit is in a submitted status, you may need to either:
  
  Wait for the approval process to complete.
  Contact the responsible person or team to expedite the approval.
  If applicable, withdraw the submission if the system allows it.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Processes:
  
  If the unit is part of a workflow, review the workflow status and determine if any actions are required to move it out of the submitted state.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the status or how to change it, consult your internal SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Retry the Delimit Operation:
  
  Once the status of the subordinate unit has been changed to allow for delimiting, you can retry the delimit operation.
