• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PF705 - Profile was deleted ?

  The SAP error message PF705 ("Profile was deleted") typically occurs when a user tries to access a user profile that has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a user profile is removed from the system or when there are inconsistencies in the user master data.
  Causes:
  
  Profile Deletion: The user profile has been explicitly deleted from the system.
  Transport Issues: If profiles are transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies if the profile was not included in the transport.
  User Master Data Changes: Changes in user master data that reference the deleted profile can lead to this error.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the profile, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Profile Existence: Verify if the profile still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the user’s profiles.
  Recreate the Profile: If the profile was deleted and is needed, you can recreate it using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) or SU01 to assign the necessary authorizations.
  Transport Profiles: If the issue is due to transport, ensure that the relevant profiles are included in the transport request and that they are properly imported into the target system.
  User Master Data Consistency: Check for inconsistencies in user master data. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues or SUIM to check user information.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the profile. This may involve checking roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
