• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SU2X014 - Cannot delete default values while &1 exists ?

  The SAP error message SU2X014 indicates that you are trying to delete default values in a user profile or authorization object, but there are existing entries that prevent this action. This typically occurs in the context of user authorizations and profiles in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete default values (like authorization values) that are currently in use or referenced by existing user profiles or roles. The system prevents this action to maintain data integrity and ensure that users still have the necessary authorizations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check which user profiles or roles are currently using the default values you are trying to delete. You can do this by reviewing the user assignments in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If you find that certain users or roles are using the default values, you will need to either:
  
  Remove those users from the roles or profiles that reference the default values.
  Change the roles or profiles to not use those default values.
  
  
  
  
  
  Delete Default Values:
  
  Once you have ensured that no profiles or roles are using the default values, you can attempt to delete them again.
  
  
  
  Check for Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to user profiles or roles. Lack of proper authorizations can also lead to issues when trying to modify or delete entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting certain default values, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP security team for guidance.
