• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FT075 - Variant & cannot be deleted, it is still in use in table T021 ?

  The SAP error message FT075 indicates that a variant (in this case, a variant identified by &) cannot be deleted because it is still in use in the table T021. The T021 table is used to store information about variants that are associated with specific financial transactions or reports.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the variant you are trying to delete is currently being referenced in the T021 table. This means that there are still transactions or reports that are using this variant, and SAP prevents deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage: First, you need to identify where the variant is being used. You can do this by checking the T021 table for entries that reference the variant. You can use transaction SE16 or SE11 to view the contents of the T021 table.
  
  
  Remove References: Once you have identified the references to the variant, you will need to either:
  
  Change the settings of the transactions or reports that are using the variant to use a different variant.
  Delete or deactivate the transactions or reports that are using the variant, if applicable.
  
  
  
  Delete the Variant: After ensuring that there are no remaining references to the variant in the T021 table, you can attempt to delete the variant again.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: If the variant is still not deletable, check for other dependencies or references in other tables or configurations that might be preventing the deletion.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE16 (Data Browser) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to explore the T021 table and find the relevant entries.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing variants and understanding the implications of deleting them.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete variants and make changes to the configurations.
