• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPIQ00OFFER016 - Academic event already has bookings and cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message HRPIQ00OFFER016 indicates that an academic event (such as a course or class) cannot be deleted because it already has bookings associated with it. This is a common issue in systems that manage academic offerings, as it ensures that users do not inadvertently remove events that have already been scheduled or enrolled in.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the academic event you are trying to delete has existing bookings or enrollments. This could be due to:
  
  Student Enrollments: Students have registered for the event.

  Consult with Administrators: 
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to cancel bookings or change the event status, consult with your system administrator or the relevant department responsible for managing academic events.
