• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /RPM/PLANNING315 - Error while deleting add. resource for position &1; delete first resource ?

  The SAP error message /RPM/PLANNING315 indicates that there is an issue when trying to delete an additional resource for a specific position in the Resource and Project Management (RPM) module. The message suggests that you need to delete the first resource before you can delete the additional resource.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Dependency: In SAP, resources may have dependencies or relationships. If the additional resource you are trying to delete is linked to a primary resource, the system will not allow you to delete it until the primary resource is removed.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that resources are managed correctly. Deleting an additional resource without addressing the primary resource can lead to inconsistencies in the data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Primary Resource: Check the resource assignment for the position in question. You need to identify the primary resource that is linked to the additional resource you are trying to delete.
  Delete the Primary Resource: Before you can delete the additional resource, you must first delete the primary resource. Navigate to the resource management screen and remove the primary resource associated with the position.
  Delete the Additional Resource: Once the primary resource has been successfully deleted, you can then proceed to delete the additional resource without encountering the error.
  Check for Dependencies: If there are multiple resources, ensure that there are no other dependencies that might prevent deletion. Review the resource assignments and relationships.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP for resource management, such as CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJR2 (Change Project).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Resource Management to understand how resources are structured and managed.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete resources. Sometimes, restrictions may be in place based on user roles.
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you encounter additional errors, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage your resources effectively within the SAP system.
