• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECAAR022 - Deleting objects of object type &1 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message RECAAR022 indicates that the system is preventing the deletion of certain objects of a specified type.

  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific object type you are dealing with. This may provide insights into the rules governing deletion.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the object. Sometimes, restrictions are in place based on user roles.
