• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMDZ10035 - Account cannot be deleted due to existing primary cost elements. ?

  The SAP error message USMDZ10035 indicates that an account cannot be deleted because there are existing primary cost elements associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of managing accounts in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with financial accounting and controlling modules.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the account you are trying to delete is linked to one or more primary cost elements. In SAP, primary cost elements are used to represent costs that are directly related to the financial accounting and controlling processes. If an account has been assigned as a primary cost element, it cannot be deleted until those associations are removed.

  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Cost Elements: Determine which primary cost elements are associated with the account you are trying to delete. You can do this by checking the configuration in the SAP system.
  
  
  Remove Associations: Once you have identified the primary cost elements, you will need to either:
  
  Change the configuration to remove the association of the cost elements with the account.
  If the cost elements are no longer needed, consider deleting or deactivating them.
  
  
  
  Delete the Account: After ensuring that there are no primary cost elements linked to the account, you can attempt to delete the account again.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the account in other areas of the SAP system that might prevent deletion.
