• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL_SERVICE002 - Orders for the source of supply &1 still exist. No deletion ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL_SERVICE002 indicates that there are still existing orders for a specific source of supply, which prevents the deletion of that source. This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to delete or change a source of supply that is still associated with active orders.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that there are open or active orders (such as purchase orders, production orders, or planned orders) that reference the source of supply you are trying to delete. SAP does not allow the deletion of a source of supply if it is still linked to any existing orders, as this could lead to inconsistencies in the planning and execution processes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Active Orders: 
  
  Use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MD05 (Individual Display of MRP List) to check for any active orders that are linked to the source of supply in question.
  You can also use transaction CO03 to view production orders or ME23N for purchase orders.
  
  
  
  Review and Manage Orders:
  
  If you find active orders that are no longer needed, consider whether you can delete or close them. 
  If the orders are still required, you may need to adjust the source of supply in those orders instead of deleting it.
  
  
  
  Change Source of Supply:
  
  If applicable, you can change the source of supply in the active orders to another valid source before attempting to delete the original source.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or links to other planning objects that might be preventing the deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to your organization's processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MD04, MD05, CO03, ME23N, and CULL related transactions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete or modify sources of supply in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
