• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RE138 - Document item successfully deleted ?

  The SAP error message RE138 ("Document item successfully deleted") typically indicates that a document item in the Real Estate Management (RE) module has been successfully deleted. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message confirming that the deletion process was completed.
  Cause:
  
  The message is triggered when a user attempts to delete a document item (such as a rental agreement, contract, or other related documents) in the SAP Real Estate Management module.
  The system confirms that the deletion was successful, meaning that the item is no longer available in the database.
  
  Solution:
  Since RE138 is an informational message indicating successful deletion, there is no action required to resolve an error. However, if you did not intend to delete the document item, you may need to take the following steps:
  
  Check for Backups: If the deletion was unintentional, check if there are any backups or previous versions of the document that can be restored.
  Recreate the Document: If the document item is critical and cannot be restored, you may need to recreate it manually in the system.
  Review Deletion Procedures: Ensure that proper procedures are in place to prevent accidental deletions in the future. This may include user training or implementing additional checks before deletion.
