• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_WLAY074 - No layout objects with end of validity & available for deletion ?

  The SAP error message WRF_WLAY074 indicates that there are no layout objects available for deletion because they have an end of validity date set. This typically occurs in the context of managing layout objects in SAP's Retail or Logistics modules, particularly when dealing with merchandise planning or layout management.
  Cause:
  
  End of Validity Date: The layout objects you are trying to delete have an end of validity date that has already passed or is set in the future. This means that the system considers these objects as no longer available for deletion.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules, which prevent the deletion of objects that are still considered valid or have dependencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of the layout objects you are trying to delete. If the end of validity date is in the future, you may need to wait until that date has passed before attempting deletion.
  Change Validity Dates: If appropriate, you can change the end of validity date to a past date, which would allow you to delete the layout objects. This can be done through the relevant transaction codes (e.g., using transaction WRF_LAYO for layout management).
  Review Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the layout objects you are trying to delete. If there are, you may need to remove those dependencies first.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing layout objects and their validity periods.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as WRF_LAYO for layout management, WRF_MPLN for merchandise planning, and others that may be relevant to your specific SAP environment.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete layout objects, as restrictions may also lead to similar error messages.
