• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK226 - Nothing deleted ?

  The SAP error message KK226 ("Nothing deleted") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you attempt to delete a cost object, such as a cost center, internal order, or other controlling objects, but the system finds that there is nothing to delete. This can happen for several reasons:
  Causes:
  
  No Existing Data: The cost object you are trying to delete does not have any associated data or entries in the system.
  Incorrect Selection: You may have selected the wrong cost object or entered incorrect criteria for deletion.
  Authorization Issues: You might not have the necessary authorizations to delete the cost object, leading to the system not allowing the deletion.
  Dependencies: The cost object may be linked to other objects or transactions that prevent it from being deleted.
  Status of the Object: The object may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it may be locked or archived).
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the cost object you are trying to delete actually exists and has data associated with it. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (e.g., KSB1 for cost centers).
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that you are using the correct selection criteria when attempting to delete the object. Double-check the object ID or name.
  Authorization Check: Confirm that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletion actions in the controlling module. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator.
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the cost object is linked to other objects or transactions. If it is, you may need to delete or modify those dependencies first.
  Object Status: Check the status of the cost object. If it is locked or archived, you may need to unlock it or unarchive it before deletion.
