• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT_GENERAL006 - Deadline has been deleted (you cannot adjust it) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_AT_GENERAL006 – Deadline has been deleted (you cannot adjust it)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to adjust or modify a deadline in SAP that has already been deleted or is no longer valid in the system. The system prevents any changes to deadlines that have been removed to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  Attempting to change a deadline that was deleted in a previous step or transaction.  
  The deadline record is missing or flagged as deleted in the database.  
  The deadline is linked to a workflow or process that has been canceled or closed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Deadline Status:
  
  Check if the deadline still exists in the system. Use transaction codes or reports related to deadlines (depending on the module, e.g., workflow deadlines, task deadlines) to confirm its status.
  
  
  Check Workflow or Process Status:
  
  If the deadline is part of a workflow, verify that the workflow instance is still active and the deadline is valid.
  
  
  Avoid Adjusting Deleted Deadlines:
  
  Since the deadline is deleted, you cannot adjust it. Instead, create a new deadline if necessary.
  
  
  Recreate Deadline if Needed:
  
  If the deadline was deleted by mistake, recreate it through the appropriate transaction or process.
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify deadlines.
  
  
  Review Custom Code or Enhancements:
  
  If this error occurs in a custom program or enhancement, check the logic that handles deadlines to ensure it does not attempt to modify deleted deadlines.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is typically related to SAP Workflow or Task Management where deadlines are used to trigger actions or escalations.
  The message ID prefix WRF often relates to Workflow Runtime Framework.
  Check SAP Notes or OSS messages for your specific SAP version if the problem persists.
  If you are working in a specific module (e.g., SAP CRM, SAP SRM), check module-specific documentation for deadline handling.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempt to adjust a deadline that has been deleted.  
  Solution: Confirm deadline status, do not adjust deleted deadlines, recreate if necessary.  
  Check: Workflow/process status, authorizations, and custom code logic.
