O8217 - Details

• The SAP error message O8217 indicates that a compartment group is assigned to a transport unit, and therefore, it cannot be deleted. This error typically arises in the context of logistics and transportation management within SAP, particularly when dealing with transport units and their compartment groups.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system has detected that the compartment group (identified by &1) is currently linked to a transport unit (identified by &2). In SAP, certain objects cannot be deleted if they are still in use or linked to other objects. This is a safeguard to maintain data integrity and prevent orphaned records.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Assignments: Verify the assignments of the compartment group to the transport unit. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (such as the transport management or logistics execution module) and checking the details of the transport unit.
