• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/GENERATOR221 - Deletion not possible.&1 is still in use in access sequences. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/GENERATOR221 indicates that a certain condition record cannot be deleted because it is still being used in one or more access sequences. This typically occurs in the context of condition management, where certain condition records are linked to pricing, discounts, or other conditions that are referenced in access sequences.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the condition record you are trying to delete is still active and referenced in an access sequence. Access sequences are used in SAP to determine the appropriate condition records based on specific criteria. If a condition record is linked to an access sequence, it cannot be deleted until it is removed from that sequence.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Access Sequence: Determine which access sequence is using the condition record. You can usually find this information in the error message itself or by checking the condition record details.
  
  
  Check Access Sequences: Go to the transaction code V/07 (for pricing) or V/08 (for discounts) to view the access sequences. Look for the access sequence that is linked to the condition record.
  
  
  Remove the Condition Record: Once you have identified the access sequence, you need to remove the condition record from it. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the access sequence in the configuration.
  Finding the condition type that references the condition record.
  Removing or deactivating the condition record from the access sequence.
  
  
  
  Delete the Condition Record: After ensuring that the condition record is no longer in use in any access sequences, you can attempt to delete the condition record again.
  
  
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., QA, Production) as needed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:

  V/08 - Maintain Condition Records
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to condition management and access sequences for more detailed guidance.
