  The SAP error message /SCDL/TS055 End deletion of successor documents typically occurs in the context of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of successor documents in a planning or scheduling process.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Dependency Issues: There are existing successor documents that depend on the document you are trying to delete. If these successor documents are still active or have not been processed, the system will prevent the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Status of Documents: The status of the documents involved may not allow for deletion. For example, if the documents are in a status that prohibits deletion (like "Completed" or "In Process"), the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict the deletion of certain types of documents or in certain scenarios.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Successor Documents: Review the successor documents associated with the document you are trying to delete. Ensure that they are either completed or can be deleted without violating dependencies.
  
  
  Change Document Status: If the document you are trying to delete is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status to one that allows deletion, if appropriate.
  
  
  Delete Successor Documents First: If there are successor documents that need to be deleted, delete them first before attempting to delete the original document.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in your SAP system related to document deletion. Ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent the deletion of the documents in question.
