• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/DD_CUSTOMIZE113 - Condition table &1 cannot be deleted in external namespace ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/DD_CUSTOMIZE113 indicates that a condition table in an external namespace cannot be deleted. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete a condition table that is part of a namespace that is not owned by your development system or is protected from deletion.
  Cause:
  
  External Namespace: The condition table you are trying to delete is in an external namespace (e.g., a namespace that is not part of your development package).
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to delete objects in that namespace.
  System Restrictions: Some namespaces are reserved for SAP standard objects or third-party applications, and deletion of such objects is restricted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Namespace: Verify the namespace of the condition table. If it is an external namespace, you will not be able to delete it directly.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletion operations in the relevant namespace.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe the condition table should be deletable, or if you need to delete it for a valid reason, consider reaching out to SAP support or your system administrator for assistance.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are trying to delete a condition table, you can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the details of the condition table and confirm its namespace.
  Alternative Actions: If deletion is not possible, consider whether you can deactivate or modify the condition table instead of deleting it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Namespaces in SAP: SAP uses namespaces to organize objects and prevent naming conflicts. External namespaces are typically reserved for third-party applications or specific SAP modules.
  Condition Tables: These are used in pricing and other areas to define specific conditions under which certain actions or calculations are performed.
  Development Guidelines: Always follow best practices and guidelines when working with SAP objects, especially in production environments.
  
  If you continue to face issues, providing specific details about the condition table and the context in which you are trying to delete it may help in diagnosing the problem further.
