• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT128 - Layout & cannot be deleted as Remitter Layout Xref exists. ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT128 Layout & cannot be deleted as Remitter Layout Xref exists typically occurs in the context of the SAP Public Sector Management (PSM) or SAP Funds Management (FM) modules. This error indicates that you are trying to delete a layout (likely a payment layout or remittance layout) that is still being referenced by a remitter layout cross-reference. 
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the existence of a cross-reference entry that links the layout you are trying to delete with a remitter layout. In other words, the system is preventing the deletion because it maintains data integrity; the layout is still in use or referenced elsewhere in the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Cross-Reference: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check the relevant database tables (e.g., PRA_LAYOUT_XREF) to find the cross-reference entries that are linking the layout you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Remove the Cross-Reference:
  
  Once you identify the cross-reference entries, you will need to delete or modify them. This can typically be done through the appropriate transaction in SAP where you manage remitter layouts or cross-references.
  
  
  
  Delete the Layout:
  
  After ensuring that there are no remaining cross-references, you can attempt to delete the layout again.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the layout in other parts of the system that might prevent deletion.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as PRA1 (for managing payment layouts) or PRA2 (for managing remitter layouts).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing layouts and cross-references in the context of your specific SAP version.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to delete layouts and manage cross-references in your SAP environment.
  Backup: Always consider backing up data or configurations before making deletions to avoid accidental loss of important information.
  
  If you continue to face issues, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance, as they may have additional tools or insights into the specific configurations of your SAP system.
