• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MAIN264 - Documents exist for condition record &1 ; caanot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MAIN264 indicates that there are existing documents associated with a condition record that you are trying to delete. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's condition management, particularly in the SAP Fashion Management (FSH) module or similar areas where condition records are used for pricing, discounts, or other financial conditions.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system has found that the condition record you are attempting to delete is still being referenced by one or more documents (such as sales orders, purchase orders, or other transactional documents). SAP prevents the deletion of such records to maintain data integrity and ensure that all related documents remain valid.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Related Documents:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16N or SE11 to check the database tables related to the condition records (e.g., KONV, KOND, etc.) to find out which documents are referencing the condition record.
  You can also use the transaction VK13 to display the condition record and check if it is being used in any active documents.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find that the condition record is being used in active documents, you will need to either:
  
  Change the documents to remove the reference to the condition record.
  Delete or archive the documents that are using the condition record, if appropriate.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Inactive Documents:
  
  If the documents are no longer needed, consider archiving them if your organization has an archiving strategy in place.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users:
  
  Before deleting any records or documents, consult with relevant business users or stakeholders to ensure that the deletion will not impact ongoing processes.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have removed all references to the condition record, you can attempt to delete the condition record again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition) for managing condition records.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to condition management for more detailed guidance on handling condition records and associated documents.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
