• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DSG014 - Not Possible to delete the operation : Status DSIG is set ?

  The SAP error message DSG014 indicates that it is not possible to delete an operation because the status DSIG (which typically means "Deleted" or "Inactive") is set. This status prevents further modifications, including deletions, to the operation in question.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the operation you are trying to delete has already been marked with a status that prohibits deletion. This can happen for several reasons:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status: Verify the status of the operation. If it is indeed set to DSIG, you will need to determine why it is in this status and whether it can be changed.

  Review Dependencies: Check if there are any dependencies or linked documents that are preventing the deletion. You may need to address these dependencies first.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines regarding operation statuses and deletions to ensure compliance with business processes.
