• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FITP123 - Variant & cannot be deleted because there are prereservations ?

  The SAP error message FITP123 indicates that a variant cannot be deleted because there are pre-reservations associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules where variants are used to manage data related to reservations, contracts, or other entities.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a variant that is still linked to existing pre-reservations. Pre-reservations are entries that have been created but not yet finalized or confirmed. Since these pre-reservations rely on the variant for their configuration or data, the system prevents the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Pre-reservations: 
  
  Use transaction codes like RECN (for contract management) or REIS (for investment management) to check for any existing pre-reservations linked to the variant you are trying to delete.
  You can also use reports or queries to find any associated pre-reservations.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Pre-reservations:
  
  If you find pre-reservations that are no longer needed, you can delete them. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  If the pre-reservations are still required, consider modifying them to remove the dependency on the variant you wish to delete.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the variant in other parts of the system. This may include checking for linked contracts, agreements, or other related entities.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once all pre-reservations are handled, attempt to delete the variant again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP that pertain to the module you are working with (e.g., RECN, REIS).
