• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAML223 - Network &1 cannot be deleted because it is a linear network ?

  The SAP error message EAML223 indicates that a specific network (in this case, referred to as "&1") cannot be deleted because it is classified as a linear network. Linear networks are typically used in SAP for projects that involve linear structures, such as roads, pipelines, or railways, and they have specific characteristics that prevent them from being deleted in the same way as standard networks.
