• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FCM027 - Target mapping '&1' cannot be removed because it is an original ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FCM027 Target mapping '&1' cannot be removed because it is an original typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Launchpad when you are trying to delete or modify a target mapping that is considered an "original" mapping. This means that the target mapping is part of the standard configuration provided by SAP and cannot be removed or altered directly.
  Cause:
  
  Original Target Mapping: The target mapping you are trying to delete is part of the original SAP standard content. SAP restricts the deletion of these mappings to ensure that the standard functionality remains intact.
  Customizations: If you are trying to customize or remove a target mapping that is linked to standard applications, the system will prevent this action to maintain the integrity of the original configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Custom Copy: Instead of trying to delete the original target mapping, you can create a custom copy of the target mapping. This allows you to modify the copy without affecting the original.
  
  Go to the Fiori Launchpad Designer.
  Find the target mapping you want to modify.
  Create a new target mapping based on the original and make your changes to the new mapping.
  
  
  
  Use Customizing Options: If you need to change the behavior of the original target mapping, consider using customizing options provided by SAP. This may involve adjusting parameters or settings that do not require deletion of the original mapping.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the original target mapping that might be causing the restriction. If there are, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for guidance on managing target mappings in the Fiori Launchpad. This can provide insights into best practices and alternative approaches.
