• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF835 - You cannot delete the default profile ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF835 indicates that you are trying to delete a default profile in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system, which is not allowed. Default profiles are essential for the system's configuration and operation, and thus, they cannot be deleted.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to delete a default profile in the CIF (Core Interface) settings. Default profiles are predefined settings that the system uses for various processes, and they are integral to the functioning of the CIF interface between SAP ERP and SAP APO.
  Solution:
  
  
  Do Not Delete Default Profiles: Since default profiles cannot be deleted, you should refrain from attempting to do so. Instead, if you need to modify the settings, consider creating a new custom profile based on the default profile.
  
  
  Create a Custom Profile: If you need to change the configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/CIF).
  Create a new profile with the desired settings.
  Use this custom profile for your CIF settings instead of trying to delete the default one.
  
  
  
  Review Profile Usage: If you are unsure about the profiles in use, review the existing profiles to understand their configurations and how they are being utilized in your system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on managing profiles in CIF and APO.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you believe there is a specific issue or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/CIF for CIF settings and /SAPAPO/PROF for profile management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to CIF profiles and error messages for additional insights or updates.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create or modify profiles in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and manage your CIF profiles effectively without attempting to delete default profiles.
