• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI113 - Selected node rule cannot be deleted as measurement data exists ?

  The SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI113 indicates that a selected node rule cannot be deleted because there is existing measurement data associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Global Trade Services (GTS) or similar modules where allocation rules are used to manage data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a node rule that is still linked to measurement data. This could be due to:
  
  Existing allocations or measurements that reference the node rule.
  Dependencies in the data model that prevent deletion until all references are cleared.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Measurement Data:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or report where you can view the measurement data associated with the node rule.
  Identify any existing measurements that are linked to the node rule you are trying to delete.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Measurement Data:
  
  If the measurement data is no longer needed, you can delete it. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  If the data needs to be retained for historical purposes, consider archiving it instead of deleting.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the node rule in other parts of the system. This may involve checking related configurations or settings.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have cleared the measurement data and any dependencies, attempt to delete the node rule again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting measurement data or the node rule, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Backup: Always consider backing up data before performing deletions, especially in production environments.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
