• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCOM_STATISKEYFIGURE004 - Deletionánotápossibleábecauseádependentárecordsáexist ?

  The SAP error message FCOM_STATISKEYFIGURE004 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because there are dependent records associated with the statistical key figure you are trying to delete. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) or financial accounting (FI) modules where statistical key figures are used for various reporting and allocation purposes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a statistical key figure that is still being referenced by other records or transactions. This could include:
  
  Cost Centers: The statistical key figure may be linked to cost centers that have posted transactions.
  Internal Orders: If the key figure is used in internal orders, it cannot be deleted until those references are cleared.
  Reports: If the key figure is part of any reports or analyses, it may prevent deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction codes like KSB1 (for cost centers) or KO03 (for internal orders) to check if there are any postings or references to the statistical key figure you are trying to delete.
  Review any reports or analyses that may be using this key figure.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If you find any dependent records, you will need to either delete or modify those records to remove the dependency on the statistical key figure.
  This may involve reversing transactions or changing the configuration of cost centers or internal orders.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the statistical key figure is not configured in a way that prevents its deletion. This may involve checking settings in the controlling area or other related configurations.
