• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_CWB090 - Dependent entries will also be deleted ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WS_CWB090: Dependent entries will also be deleted:
  
  SAP Error Message: WS_CWB090
  Text: Dependent entries will also be deleted
  
  Cause:
  This message appears in SAP when you attempt to delete an entry (such as a work center, routing, or other master data) that has dependent or linked entries in the system. The system warns you that deleting this entry will also delete related dependent entries to maintain data consistency.
  For example, if you try to delete a work center that is assigned to routings or production orders, SAP warns that these dependent objects will also be deleted or affected.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message is a warning or information message, not necessarily an error that stops processing.
  It is designed to prevent accidental deletion of important linked data.
  The system ensures referential integrity by informing you that deleting the main entry will cascade deletions to dependent entries.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Deleting a work center that is assigned to routings or production orders.
  Deleting a routing header that has operation details.
  Deleting a BOM header that has component items.
  Deleting a cost center or other master data that is referenced elsewhere.
  
  
  Solution / How to Proceed:
  
  
  Review Dependencies:
  
  Before deleting, check what dependent entries exist.
  Use transaction codes or reports to list dependencies (e.g., routings assigned to a work center).
  
  
  
  Backup or Document Data:
  
  If necessary, back up or document the dependent entries before deletion.
  
  
  
  Confirm Deletion:
  
  If you are sure you want to delete the main entry and all dependent entries, confirm the deletion.
  SAP will then delete the main entry and all dependent entries.
  
  
  
  Alternative:
  
  If you do not want to delete dependent entries, you must first remove or reassign those dependencies.
  For example, reassign routings to another work center before deleting the original work center.
  
  
  
  Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to delete master data and dependent entries.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to deletion of master data and dependent entries.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  SAP enforces data consistency by preventing orphaned dependent entries.
  Always ensure that deletion of master data does not negatively impact production or planning processes.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WS_CWB090 is a warning that deleting an entry will also delete dependent entries.
  Review and understand dependencies before deletion.
  Confirm deletion only if you intend to remove all linked data.
  Reassign or remove dependencies if you want to keep them.
