• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FLQ029 - Deletion not possible: Query & is used in sequences ?

  The SAP error message FLQ029 indicates that a query (in this case, identified by the placeholder &) cannot be deleted because it is currently being used in one or more sequences. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Query functionality, where queries can be part of sequences that are used for reporting or data extraction.
  Cause:
  
  Query in Use: The query you are trying to delete is actively referenced in one or more sequences. Sequences are collections of queries that are executed in a specific order, and the system prevents deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Dependencies: The system has built-in checks to ensure that deleting a query does not disrupt any existing sequences that rely on it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check which sequences are using the query. You can do this by navigating to the sequence management area in SAP and looking for the query in question.
  Use transaction codes like SQ01 (Query Management) or SQ02 (InfoSet Query) to find the sequences that reference the query.
  
  
  
  Remove Query from Sequences:
  
  Once you identify the sequences that are using the query, you will need to either remove the query from those sequences or modify the sequences to no longer depend on it.
  This can typically be done in the sequence management area where you can edit the sequence definitions.
  
  
  
  Delete the Query:
  
  After ensuring that the query is no longer referenced in any sequences, you can attempt to delete the query again.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  If the error persists, ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the query in other objects or configurations within SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SQ01, SQ02, and SQ03 for managing queries and sequences.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on managing queries and sequences.
  Testing: After making changes, it’s a good practice to test the sequences to ensure they function correctly without the deleted query.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FLQ029 error and successfully delete the query in question.
