    Error Message

    WT130: Requirements group &1 is still in use and cannot be deleted


    Cause

    This error occurs when you attempt to delete a Requirements Group in SAP that is still assigned or referenced in other objects or configurations. The system prevents deletion to maintain data integrity because the requirements group is actively used in:

    • Work center assignments
    • Routing operations
    • Production versions
    • Task lists
    • Other master data or configuration settings related to production or planning

    Explanation

    A Requirements Group in SAP is used to group similar requirements for production or planning purposes. If the group is still linked to any master data or transactional data, deleting it would cause inconsistencies or errors in the system.


    Solution

    To resolve this error and delete the requirements group, follow these steps:

    1. Identify where the requirements group is used:

      • Check work centers (transaction CR03 or CR02) to see if the requirements group is assigned.
      • Check routing operations (transaction CA03 or CA02) for the requirements group.
      • Check production versions (transaction C223) or task lists.
      • Use SAP standard reports or tables to find references:
        • Table CRHD (Work Center header) field BEDARFSGR (Requirements Group)
        • Table PLKO (Routing header)
        • Table PLPO (Routing operations)
        • Table MAPL (Assignment of task lists to materials)
    2. Remove or change the requirements group assignment:

      • For each object found, either remove the requirements group or assign a different one.
      • Save the changes.
    3. After all references are removed, delete the requirements group again:

      • Use transaction OPPR (Maintain Requirements Groups) or the relevant IMG path.
      • Now the system should allow deletion without error.

    Additional Information

    • Transaction codes:

      • OPPR – Maintain Requirements Groups
      • CR03 / CR02 – Display / Change Work Center
      • CA03 / CA02 – Display / Change Routing
      • C223 – Maintain Production Versions
    • Tables to check:

      • CRHD – Work Center Header Data
      • PLKO – Routing Header
      • PLPO – Routing Operations
      • MAPL – Assignment of Task Lists to Materials
    • Note: Always perform such changes in a development or test environment first and ensure no active production processes depend on the requirements group before deletion.
