  The SAP error message /PLMU/UI_GSS034 Synchronization unit &1 can only be deleted in status 'Obsolete' indicates that you are trying to delete a synchronization unit that is not in the 'Obsolete' status. In SAP, synchronization units are often used in the context of data synchronization processes, and they must meet certain criteria before they can be deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Status Restriction: The synchronization unit you are attempting to delete is in a status other than 'Obsolete'. This could be 'Active', 'In Progress', or any other status that does not allow deletion.
  Data Integrity: The system enforces this restriction to maintain data integrity and ensure that only completed or no longer needed synchronization units can be removed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Status: First, check the status of the synchronization unit you are trying to delete. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report that displays synchronization units.
  Change Status: If the synchronization unit is not in 'Obsolete' status, you will need to change its status to 'Obsolete' before attempting to delete it. This may involve completing any ongoing processes or manually changing the status if your user role allows it.
  Delete After Status Change: Once the synchronization unit is marked as 'Obsolete', you can proceed to delete it without encountering the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes for managing synchronization units, such as /PLMU/ related transactions.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to change the status of synchronization units and to delete them.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing synchronization units and understanding their lifecycle.
  Support: If you are unable to change the status or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully delete the synchronization unit once it is in the correct status.
