  The SAP error message O4174, which states "Repository formula & successfully deleted," typically indicates that a formula in the SAP system has been successfully removed from the repository. This message is not an error in the traditional sense but rather an informational message confirming that a deletion operation has been completed.

  The message is triggered when a user or a process attempts to delete a formula from the SAP repository, and the operation is successful. This could happen during routine maintenance, updates, or when cleaning up unused or obsolete formulas.
  
  Solution:
  Since this message indicates a successful deletion, there is no action required if the deletion was intentional. However, if the deletion was not intended, you may need to:
  
  Check for Backups: If you have a backup of the formula or repository, you can restore it.
  Recreate the Formula: If no backup is available, you may need to recreate the formula manually in the system.
  Review Change Logs: Check the change logs to understand who deleted the formula and why, which can help prevent unintended deletions in the future.
  
  Related Information:
