• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SEU_ADT_DELETE005 - Used by 1 other DDIC object ?

  The SAP error message SEU_ADT_DELETE005: Used by 1 other DDIC object typically occurs when you attempt to delete a Data Dictionary (DDIC) object, such as a table, view, or data element, that is still being referenced by another DDIC object. This is a safeguard mechanism in SAP to prevent the accidental deletion of objects that are still in use, which could lead to data integrity issues or application errors.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because:
  
  The object you are trying to delete is still being referenced by at least one other object in the Data Dictionary.
  This could be due to foreign key relationships, views that depend on the table, or other dependencies that have not been resolved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the dependencies of the object you are trying to delete.
  You can also use the Where-Used List feature (available in SE11) to find out which objects are referencing the one you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  Once you have identified the dependent objects, you will need to either delete or modify them to remove the references to the object you want to delete.
  For example, if a table is being referenced by a foreign key in another table, you will need to remove that foreign key constraint first.
  
  
  
  Delete the Object:
  
  After resolving all dependencies, you should be able to delete the object without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check for Additional References:
  
  Sometimes, there may be additional references in other areas such as programs, function modules, or other DDIC objects. Make sure to check these as well.
  
  
  
  Transport Considerations:
  
  If you are working in a transport environment, ensure that you are aware of the implications of deleting objects and that you have the necessary approvals.
