• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH543 - Deletion is not possible; flight referenced by flight &1 of schedule &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH543 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because there is a flight that is still referenced in the schedule. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to delete a schedule that is linked to a flight.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the existence of a flight that is still associated with the schedule you are trying to delete. In SAP TM, schedules can have dependencies on flights, and if a flight is still active or referenced, the system will prevent the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Flight References: Identify the flight that is causing the issue. The error message provides the flight number (&1) and the schedule number (&2). Use these identifiers to locate the specific flight in the system.
  
  
  Review Flight Status: Check the status of the flight. If the flight is still active or in use, you may need to complete or cancel the flight before you can delete the schedule.
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If the flight is no longer needed, ensure that all dependencies or references to the flight are removed. This may involve:
  
  Canceling the flight if it is no longer required.
  Updating any related documents or schedules that reference the flight.
  
  
  
  Delete the Flight: If the flight is no longer needed and all dependencies have been cleared, you can proceed to delete the flight.
  
  
  Retry Deletion: After ensuring that the flight is no longer referenced, attempt to delete the schedule again.
