• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ERP_MKTTG_XPRA004 - DDIC object &1 not deleted ?

  The SAP error message ERP_MKTTG_XPRA004 DDIC object &1 not deleted typically occurs during the execution of a transport or upgrade process in SAP, particularly when dealing with the Marketing and Sales (MKTTG) components. This error indicates that a Data Dictionary (DDIC) object, specified by &1, was not deleted as expected.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Issues: The DDIC object may have dependencies that prevent it from being deleted. For example, if other objects (like tables, views, or programs) are still referencing the object in question, the system will not allow its deletion.
  Transport Issues: If the object was part of a transport request that was not properly released or imported, it may lead to inconsistencies in the system.
  Custom Modifications: If there are custom modifications or enhancements that rely on the DDIC object, the system may block its deletion to avoid breaking functionality.

  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if there are any dependencies for the DDIC object. If there are dependent objects, you may need to address those first.
