• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSG_CL_ER152 - WSD &1 can not be deleted because of &2 child SEPs. ?

  The SAP error message MSG_CL_ER152 indicates that a Work Schedule Definition (WSD) cannot be deleted because there are child Schedule Execution Plans (SEPs) associated with it. This is a common issue when trying to delete a WSD that is still linked to other objects in the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the WSD you are trying to delete has dependencies, specifically child SEPs that are still active or linked to it. SAP enforces referential integrity, meaning that you cannot delete an object that is still being referenced by another object.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Child SEPs: Determine which child SEPs are associated with the WSD. You can do this by checking the details of the WSD in the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction codes like CR01 or CR02 for change requests).
  
  
  Delete or Modify Child SEPs: 
  
  If the child SEPs are no longer needed, you can delete them. Make sure to check if they are in use or if they can be safely removed.
  If the child SEPs are still required, consider modifying them to remove the dependency on the WSD you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion: Once all child SEPs have been handled (either deleted or modified), you can attempt to delete the WSD again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  CR01 / CR02 for creating and changing work schedules.
  SE11 for checking database tables related to WSD and SEPs.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on managing work schedules and their dependencies.
  
  
  Consulting with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting SEPs or WSDs, consult with your team or a functional consultant who specializes in the area of work scheduling.
  
  
  Testing in a Sandbox: If possible, test the deletion process in a sandbox environment to ensure that you understand the impact of the changes before applying them in a production environment.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully delete the WSD if it is no longer needed.
