Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR505 - RMP &1 cannot be deleted; dependent meas. points are being processed. ?

  The SAP error message IR505 indicates that a measurement point (MP) cannot be deleted because there are dependent measurement points that are currently being processed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Industry Solution (IS) modules, where measurement points are used to track and manage data related to equipment and processes.
  Cause:
  
  Dependent Measurement Points: The measurement point you are trying to delete has one or more dependent measurement points that are still active or being processed. This means that the system is enforcing data integrity by preventing the deletion of a measurement point that is still in use.
  Ongoing Processes: There may be ongoing processes or transactions that are referencing the measurement point, such as readings being recorded or reports being generated.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent the deletion of measurement points under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependent Measurement Points: Use transaction codes like IK17 (Display Measurement Points) or IK18 (Display Measurement Documents) to identify any dependent measurement points that are linked to the one you are trying to delete.
  Check for Active Processes: Ensure that there are no active processes or transactions that are currently using the measurement point. This may involve checking for open measurement documents or ongoing readings.
  Delete Dependent Measurement Points: If it is appropriate to do so, delete or deactivate the dependent measurement points first before attempting to delete the primary measurement point.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling measurement points and their dependencies.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like IK01 (Create Measurement Point) or IK02 (Change Measurement Point) to manage measurement points and their dependencies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to measurement points and the IR505 error.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete measurement points in the system.
  Data Integrity: Understand that the system is designed to maintain data integrity, and deleting measurement points without addressing dependencies can lead to data inconsistencies.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
