• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_PI057 - All deletable characteristics deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_PI057 indicates that all deletable characteristics have been deleted from a planning object in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs in the context of planning object structures or when working with planning books and data views.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to delete characteristics from a planning object structure or a planning book, and the system finds that all characteristics that can be deleted have already been removed. This can happen due to:
  
  Accidental Deletion: Users may have inadvertently deleted all the characteristics that are marked as deletable.
  Configuration Issues: The planning object structure may not be configured correctly, leading to the inability to retain any characteristics.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or planning book configuration that result in the removal of all relevant characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Planning Object Structure:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/SDP and check the planning object structure to ensure that it still contains the necessary characteristics.
  If all characteristics are deleted, you may need to recreate the planning object structure or add the required characteristics back.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Book Configuration:
  
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/SDP to review the planning book configuration.
  Ensure that at least one characteristic is present in the planning book. If not, you will need to add characteristics back to the planning book.
  
  
  
  Restore Deleted Characteristics:
  
  If characteristics were deleted unintentionally, you may need to restore them from a backup or reconfigure them manually.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to planning object structures and characteristics to understand the implications of deletions and how to manage them effectively.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the planning book or object structure to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
