• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LM028 - You cannot delete limit type & because limits still exist for it ?

  The SAP error message LM028 indicates that you are trying to delete a limit type, but there are still existing limits associated with that limit type in the system. This is a common issue when managing limit types in SAP, particularly in the context of credit management or similar modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system has constraints that prevent the deletion of a limit type if there are still active limits linked to it. This is a safeguard to ensure data integrity and prevent the accidental loss of important configurations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Existing Limits:
  
  Use transaction codes such as FD32 (for customer credit management) or FD33 to check if there are any existing limits associated with the limit type you are trying to delete.
  You can also use reports or queries to find all limits related to the specific limit type.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Limits:
  
  If you find existing limits that are linked to the limit type, you will need to either delete these limits or modify them to remove the association with the limit type you want to delete.
  To delete a limit, navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., FD32), select the limit, and choose the delete option.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion of Limit Type:
  
  Once all associated limits have been deleted or modified, you can attempt to delete the limit type again using the appropriate transaction (e.g., OBBL for limit types).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing limits and limit types, such as OBBL, FD32, FD33, and others depending on your specific SAP configuration.
