  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.

  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. This may involve reversing any synchronization actions that have been taken.
  
  
  Version Management: Instead of deleting the version, consider marking it as inactive or obsolete. This way, it will not be used in future processes, but the historical data will remain intact.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to Recipe Management or PLM for specific instructions on handling synchronized recipe versions.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
