• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_PRO120 - Attribute &1 not deleted as is used in more than &2 content model(s) ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_PRO120 indicates that an attribute cannot be deleted because it is still being used in multiple content models. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) where attributes are part of content models that define the structure and behavior of data.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete an attribute that is referenced in more than a specified number of content models (in this case, more than &2). The system prevents the deletion to maintain data integrity and ensure that all references to the attribute are properly managed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage: Determine which content models are using the attribute. You can do this by checking the configuration or using transaction codes related to content model management.
  
  
  Remove References: Before you can delete the attribute, you need to remove it from all content models where it is being used. This may involve:
  
  Editing the content models to exclude the attribute.
  Ensuring that any dependencies or relationships that rely on the attribute are also addressed.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Make sure that there are no other dependencies or references to the attribute in other configurations or data structures.
  
  
  Delete the Attribute: Once the attribute is no longer referenced in any content models, you should be able to delete it without encountering the error.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, it’s a good practice to test the affected content models to ensure that they function correctly without the deleted attribute.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as BP (Business Partner), MDG (Master Data Governance), or any specific transaction related to content model management.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help guides for detailed instructions on managing attributes and content models.
