Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EVE_SETTINGS020 - Deletion not possible. Evaluation &1 is assigned to a threshold value. ?

  The SAP error message EVE_SETTINGS020 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because the evaluation (denoted as &1) is currently assigned to a threshold value. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Evaluation Management or similar modules where evaluations are linked to specific thresholds for monitoring or reporting purposes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the evaluation you are trying to delete is actively linked to a threshold value. In SAP, evaluations are often used to assess performance or compliance against certain criteria, and thresholds are set to define acceptable limits. If an evaluation is tied to a threshold, it cannot be deleted until that association is removed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Evaluation: Determine which evaluation is causing the issue. The error message will provide the name or ID of the evaluation (represented as &1).
  
  
  Check Threshold Assignments:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration or settings area in SAP where evaluations and thresholds are managed.
  Look for the threshold values that are linked to the evaluation in question.
  
  
  
  Remove the Association:
  
  If you find that the evaluation is indeed assigned to a threshold, you will need to either:
  
  Remove the evaluation from the threshold.
  Delete or modify the threshold itself if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion: Once the evaluation is no longer associated with any threshold, you should be able to delete it without encountering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP version and configuration, you may use transaction codes like EVA1 (for evaluations) or EVA2 (for thresholds) to manage these settings.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to modify evaluations and thresholds in your SAP system.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's internal documentation for specific procedures related to evaluations and thresholds in your SAP environment.
  Support: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully delete the evaluation as needed.
