• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM_PROF011 - Deletion not possible; profile being used in CTM master data selection & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM_PROF011 indicates that a deletion operation is not possible because the profile you are trying to delete is currently being used in the CTM (Capable-to-Match) master data selection. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you attempt to delete a planning profile that is still referenced in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The profile you are trying to delete is actively being used in the CTM master data selection. This means that there are planning runs or configurations that depend on this profile.
  Dependencies: The profile may be linked to various planning objects, such as planning books, data views, or other configurations that are still in use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage:
  
  Check where the profile is being used. You can do this by navigating to the CTM settings and reviewing the master data selection criteria.
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/CTM or /SAPAPO/MVM to find the relevant configurations.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If the profile is linked to any active planning runs or configurations, you will need to either remove those dependencies or change the configuration to use a different profile.
  Update the CTM settings to point to a different profile if necessary.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Change Profile:
  
  If you do not need the profile anymore, consider deactivating it instead of deleting it. This can sometimes be a safer approach if you are unsure about the impact of the deletion.
  Alternatively, you can create a new profile and update the relevant configurations to use the new profile.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have ensured that the profile is no longer in use, attempt to delete it again.
