• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X024 - Deletion not possible; recipe version has already been synchronized ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X024 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because the recipe version has already been synchronized. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Recipe Management or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) modules, where recipes or product formulations are managed.
  
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to delete a recipe version that has already been synchronized with other systems or processes. Synchronization often means that the recipe version has been used in production, planning, or has been sent to other systems (like SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC). The system prevents deletion to maintain data integrity and avoid inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Synchronization Status: Verify if the recipe version is indeed synchronized. You can check the synchronization logs or status in the relevant transaction codes (like /PLMI/RECIPE or similar).
  
  
  Unlink or Unsynchronize: If possible, unlink the recipe version from any dependent processes or systems.
