• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS126 - No deletions exist ?

  The SAP error message KS126 ("No deletions exist") typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders when you attempt to delete a cost center or an internal order that does not have any associated records to delete. This message indicates that the system has not found any entries that can be deleted.
  Cause:
  
  No Existing Records: The most common cause of this error is that there are no existing records (such as cost allocations, postings, or transactions) associated with the cost center or internal order you are trying to delete.
  Incorrect Selection: You may be trying to delete a cost center or order that is not currently active or does not exist in the system.
  Data Integrity: The system may have integrity checks that prevent deletion if certain conditions are not met.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Existing Records: Before attempting to delete a cost center or internal order, verify that there are indeed records associated with it. You can do this by checking the relevant reports or transaction codes (like KSB1 for cost centers).
  Correct Selection: Ensure that you are selecting the correct cost center or internal order for deletion. Double-check the identifiers and any filters you may have applied.
  Review Deletion Criteria: Make sure that the cost center or internal order meets the criteria for deletion. For example, it should not be locked or have any dependencies that prevent deletion.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction code for deletion. For cost centers, you might use transaction code KS02 (Change Cost Center) and then set the status to "Deleted" instead of trying to delete it outright.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance on the correct procedures for deleting cost centers or internal orders.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KS01 (Create Cost Center), KS02 (Change Cost Center), and KS03 (Display Cost Center).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete cost centers or internal orders in your SAP environment.
  System Configuration: Sometimes, system configuration settings can affect the ability to delete records. Consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team if you suspect this might be the case.
