• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR756 - You cannot delete key figure & ?

  The SAP error message GR756, which states "You cannot delete key figure &," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you attempt to delete a key figure from a data model, InfoProvider, or a query that is still being used or referenced in some way.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure in Use: The key figure you are trying to delete is still being used in one or more queries, reports, or data models.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the key figure in other objects, such as calculated key figures, restricted key figures, or other InfoProviders.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the key figure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the key figure, check if it is being used in any queries, reports, or other objects. You can do this by:
  
  Reviewing the queries in the BEx Query Designer.
  Checking the InfoObjects and InfoProviders that reference the key figure.
  Using transaction codes like RSRT (for query execution) or RSA1 (for data modeling) to find dependencies.
  
  
  
  Remove References: If the key figure is being used, you will need to remove it from all dependent objects. This may involve:
  
  Modifying queries to exclude the key figure.
  Deleting or modifying calculated or restricted key figures that reference it.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the key figure. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Use the Right Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for deleting key figures. For example, you can use transaction RSA1 to manage InfoObjects.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the key figure is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is not locked or in a state that prevents deletion.
