  The SAP error message MM_PUR_REQN022 indicates that you are trying to delete a Purchase Requisition (PR) item that has been generated from a project demand. This typically occurs in the context of project management and procurement within SAP, where certain requisitions are linked to specific projects and cannot be deleted due to their association with project-related activities.
  Cause:
  
  Project Association: The PR item is linked to a project or a network activity, which means it is part of a planned project demand.
  System Constraints: SAP enforces rules to maintain the integrity of project-related data, preventing the deletion of requisitions that are essential for project execution.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a few options:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the status of the project or network activity associated with the PR. If the project is still active, consider whether the requisition is still needed.
  
  
  Change the PR Item: Instead of deleting the PR item, you may want to modify it. You can change the quantity or other details if necessary.
  
  
  Cancel the Project Demand: If the project demand is no longer needed, you may need to cancel or close the project or network activity that generated the PR. This action should be taken with caution, as it may have broader implications for project management.
  
  
  Consult with Project Management: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or modifying the PR, consult with your project manager or the team responsible for project oversight.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) to modify the requisition or CJ20N (Project Builder) to manage project-related items.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing purchase requisitions and project-related procurement.
