• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCPG062 - Assigned participation groups without del. ind. still exist (number: &1) ?

  The SAP error message RESCPG062 indicates that there are assigned participation groups in the system that do not have a deletion indicator set, which means they cannot be deleted. This error typically arises in the context of managing participation groups in SAP, particularly in the areas of project management or resource management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to delete a participation group that still has active assignments or references in the system. The system checks for any existing links or dependencies and prevents deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Assigned Participation Groups:
  
  Use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items) to review the participation groups and their assignments.
  Identify the participation groups that are causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  If you find that there are active assignments, you will need to remove or reassign them before you can delete the participation group.
  Navigate to the relevant transactions to modify or delete the assignments.
  
  
  
  Set Deletion Indicator:
  
  If you determine that the participation group is no longer needed, you can set a deletion indicator for it. This can usually be done in the master data of the participation group.
  Use transaction OIRP (for participation groups) to set the deletion indicator.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  After ensuring that there are no active assignments or after setting the deletion indicator, you can attempt to delete the participation group again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
