• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2317 - Dependent component objects were also deleted ?

  The SAP error message E2317, which states "Dependent component objects were also deleted," typically occurs when you attempt to delete a component or object in the SAP system that has dependent objects associated with it. This message serves as a warning that the deletion of the primary object will also result in the deletion of its dependent objects.
  
  Cause:
  
  Dependent Objects: The primary object you are trying to delete has other objects that depend on it. For example, if you are trying to delete a material, there may be dependent objects like BOMs (Bill of Materials), routing, or purchase orders linked to that material.

  Solution:
  
  Review Dependencies: Before deleting the object, review the dependencies. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for dependent objects.
