• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MAIN216 - User parameters were deleted ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MAIN216 indicates that user parameters have been deleted, which can affect the functionality of certain transactions or reports in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Fashion Management (FSH) module, but it can also occur in other areas where user-specific settings are crucial for processing.
  Cause:
  
  
  User Parameter Deletion: The most common cause of this error is that the user parameters, which are specific settings or configurations for a user, have been deleted or are missing. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual deletion by a user or administrator.
  System upgrades or migrations that inadvertently remove user-specific settings.
  Changes in user roles or authorizations that affect access to certain parameters.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the parameters, leading to the perception that they are deleted.
  
  
  System Configuration Changes: Changes in the system configuration or updates to the FSH module can also lead to the loss of user parameters.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Recreate User Parameters: If the parameters were deleted, they need to be recreated. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the user parameter settings in the SAP GUI (transaction code SU01 for user maintenance).
  Adding the necessary parameters back for the affected user.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to access and modify their parameters. This can be checked in transaction SU53 (to analyze authorization issues) or by reviewing the user's role assignments.
  
  
  Consult System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any related messages that might provide more context on why the parameters were deleted.
  
  
  System Restore: If the deletion was due to a system upgrade or migration, consider restoring the parameters from a backup if available.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and cannot be resolved through the above steps, it may be necessary to contact SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Authorization Check
  SLG1: Application Log
