• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2624 - Unit is used in info structure &, deletion cancelled ?

  The SAP error message M2624 ("Unit is used in info structure &, deletion cancelled") typically occurs when you attempt to delete a unit of measure (UoM) that is still being referenced in an information structure. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly in the context of materials management and inventory management.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the unit of measure you are trying to delete is still in use within one or more info structures. Info structures are used in SAP for reporting and analysis purposes, and they may contain historical data or current data that references the unit of measure you are attempting to delete.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Info Structure: Determine which info structure is referencing the unit of measure. The error message should provide the name of the info structure (denoted by the & symbol).
  
  
  Check Usage: Use transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) or SIS (Sales Information System) to check if the unit of measure is being used in any reports or data structures.
  
  
  Remove References: If the unit of measure is being used in an info structure, you will need to either:
  
  Remove the data that references the unit of measure from the info structure.
  Change the configuration or settings in the info structure to no longer reference the unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Delete the Unit of Measure: Once you have ensured that the unit of measure is no longer in use, you can proceed to delete it using transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion).
  
  
  Recheck: After deletion, verify that the unit of measure has been successfully removed and that there are no lingering references in the info structures.
