• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/BC060 - Profile &1 cannot be deleted since it is still in use ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/BC060 Profile &1 cannot be deleted since it is still in use indicates that you are trying to delete a profile that is currently being utilized by some objects or processes in the system. This is a common issue when dealing with configuration profiles in SAP, particularly in the context of Supply Chain Management (SCM) or other modules that utilize profiles for various settings.
  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The profile you are attempting to delete is still assigned to one or more objects, such as planning books, data views, or other configurations.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the profile from other configurations or processes that prevent its deletion.
  User Assignments: The profile might be assigned to users or roles that are currently active.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Usage:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCDL/BC_PROFILE or /SCDL/BC_PROFILE_LIST to check where the profile is being used.
  Look for any active assignments or dependencies that might be preventing the deletion.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  If the profile is assigned to any objects, you will need to remove those assignments first. This may involve:
  
  Unassigning the profile from planning books or data views.
  Modifying any configurations that reference the profile.
  
  
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Delete Dependencies:
  
  If there are any dependent objects that are using the profile, consider deactivating or deleting those dependencies if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Ensure that the profile is not assigned to any user roles that are currently active. If it is, you may need to reassign or remove it from those roles.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have ensured that the profile is no longer in use, attempt to delete it again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCDL/BC_PROFILE, /SCDL/BC_PROFILE_LIST, and others that may help in managing profiles.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on profiles and their management.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or functional support team for assistance.
