/KJEDM/M001001 - Details

• The SAP error message /KJEDM/M001001 Cannot delete record; relevant records exist in other tables typically occurs when you attempt to delete a record from a table that is linked to other tables through foreign key relationships. This means that there are dependent records in other tables that reference the record you are trying to delete, and SAP prevents the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  Cause:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The record you are trying to delete is referenced by other records in related tables. For example, if you are trying to delete a cost center, there may be transactions or assignments that still reference that cost center.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that no orphaned records are left in the database, which could lead to inconsistencies in reporting and data analysis.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Dependent Records: Before attempting to delete the record, you need to identify which records in other tables are referencing
