• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/RESPONSIBILITY112 - Cannot Delete! The user group & is assigned to resp. area &. ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/RESPONSIBILITY112 Cannot Delete! The user group & is assigned to resp. area &. typically occurs when you attempt to delete a user group that is still assigned to a responsibility area in the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user groups are linked to specific responsibilities, and the system prevents deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  User Group Assignment: The user group you are trying to delete is currently assigned to one or more responsibility areas. SAP enforces this rule to ensure that there are no orphaned references or inconsistencies in the system.
  Data Integrity: The system is designed to maintain data integrity and prevent accidental deletions that could lead to issues in user access and responsibilities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Assignments:
  
  Use transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to check where the user group is assigned.
  You can also use transaction SE16 or SE11 to look into the relevant database tables (e.g., AGR_USERS, USR04, etc.) to find out which responsibility areas are linked to the user group.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  Once you identify the responsibility areas where the user group is assigned, you need to remove the assignments. This can be done by:
  
  Editing the roles in PFCG and removing the user group from the role.
  Updating user profiles in SU01 to disassociate the user group.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete the User Group:
  
  After ensuring that the user group is no longer assigned to any responsibility areas, you can attempt to delete the user group again.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the user group in other configurations or settings within the SAP system.
