• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU757 - Pricing reference material & can only be deleted with dependent variants ?

  The SAP error message WU757 indicates that you are trying to delete a pricing reference material that has dependent variants. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP, where a material can have multiple variants based on certain characteristics.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the pricing reference material is linked to dependent variants, which means that there are other materials or configurations that rely on it. SAP prevents the deletion of such materials to maintain data integrity and avoid orphaned records.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependent Variants: 
  
  Use transaction codes like CS03 (Display Material) or CS11 (Display BOM for Material) to check which dependent variants are associated with the pricing reference material.
  You can also use transaction CU50 to view the configuration of the material and its variants.
  
  
  
  Delete Dependent Variants: 
  
  If you determine that the dependent variants are no longer needed, you can delete them first. Use transaction CU02 (Change Configuration) or CU03 (Display Configuration) to manage the variants.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete these variants.
  
  
  
  Delete Pricing Reference Material: 
  
  Once all dependent variants are deleted, you can proceed to delete the pricing reference material using transaction MM02 (Change Material) or MM06 (Mark for Deletion).
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: 
  
  Before deleting, ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the material in other areas of the system, such as sales orders, purchase orders, or production orders.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to perform deletions in the system.
  Backup: Always consider backing up data or ensuring that you have a recovery plan before making deletions in the system.
