• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECMP351 - &1 &2 of &3 &4 is still used in access object ?

  The SAP error message PPECMP351 indicates that a specific object (like a characteristic, key figure, or other data element) is still being used in an access object, which prevents you from making changes or deleting that object. This is a common issue when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or other SAP modules where data modeling and access objects are involved.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to delete or modify a characteristic, key figure, or other object that is still referenced in an access object (like a query, InfoProvider, or other data model).
  The object is part of a composite provider, a query, or a data source that is still active or in use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction codes like RSRT (for queries) or RSA1 (for data modeling) to check where the object is being used.
  Look for any queries, InfoProviders, or other objects that reference the characteristic or key figure in question.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find that the object is being used in a query, you will need to either modify the query to remove the reference or delete the query if it is no longer needed.
  If the object is part of an InfoProvider, you may need to adjust the InfoProvider to remove the characteristic or key figure.
  
  
  
  Check Composite Providers:
  
  If the object is part of a composite provider, ensure that it is not being used in any of the underlying providers.
  
  
  
  Re-activate Objects:
  
  After making changes, you may need to re-activate the affected objects to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the queries or reports that were using the object to ensure that they still function correctly.
