• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSG_CL_ER153 - System &1 can not be deleted because of &2 child WSDs. ?

  The SAP error message MSG_CL_ER153 indicates that a system (represented by &1) cannot be deleted because it has child Work Scheduling Data (WSD) associated with it (represented by &2). This typically occurs in the context of managing system configurations, particularly in the areas of logistics or production planning where systems are linked to various scheduling data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system you are trying to delete has dependent objects (child WSDs) that are still linked to it. In SAP, certain objects cannot be deleted if they have dependencies to maintain data integrity and avoid orphaned records.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Child WSDs: Determine which child WSDs are associated with the system you are trying to delete. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view the relationships between systems and their child objects.
  
  
  Delete or Reassign Child WSDs: 
  
  If the child WSDs are no longer needed, you can delete them. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations and that deleting these records will not affect other processes.
  If the child WSDs are still required, consider reassigning them to another system or modifying them as necessary.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion: Once the child WSDs have been handled (either deleted or reassigned), attempt to delete the system again.
  
  
  Check for Additional Dependencies: If the error persists, there may be other dependencies or linked objects that need to be addressed. Review the system's configuration and related data to ensure all dependencies are resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS03 (Display Material BOM), CS02 (Change Material BOM), or C223 (Change WSD) to manage and view the relationships between systems and their child objects.
  Data Integrity: Always ensure that any deletions or modifications maintain the integrity of your data and do not disrupt ongoing processes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing systems and WSDs in your version of SAP, as the steps may vary slightly depending on the configuration and version.
