• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PVS0C802 - Profile definition &1 has been deleted ?

  The SAP error message PVS0C802 indicates that a profile definition referenced in a process has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Variant Configuration or similar areas where profiles are used to define characteristics and values for products.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Deletion: The most direct cause of this error is that the profile (or configuration profile) has been deleted from the system. This could happen due to manual deletion by a user or as part of a data cleanup process.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may be trying to access a profile that was never created or was incorrectly configured.
  Transport Issues: If the profile was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the transport did not include the profile, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Profile Existence: Verify if the profile still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CU50 for configuration profiles) and checking if the profile is listed.
  Recreate the Profile: If the profile has been deleted, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you have the necessary details to define the profile correctly.
  Review Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that the profile was included in the transport request. If it was not, you may need to transport it again.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or configurations that rely on the deleted profile. You may need to update or remove these dependencies.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand why the profile was deleted and if it can be restored from a backup.
  
  Related Information:
