• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP119 - Planning step &1 is still flagged for deletion ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP119: Planning step &1 is still flagged for deletion
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you try to perform an operation on a planning step that has already been flagged for deletion but not yet fully deleted from the system. In SAP Production Planning (PP) or Capacity Planning, a planning step represents a phase or step in the production process. When a planning step is flagged for deletion, it means it is marked to be removed but still exists in the database until the deletion is fully processed.
  The system prevents further changes or certain operations on such planning steps to avoid inconsistencies or data integrity issues.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When you try to change or use a planning step that is marked for deletion.
  During planning run or capacity leveling if the system encounters a planning step flagged for deletion.
  When trying to create or modify production orders or capacity planning data linked to the flagged planning step.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the status of the planning step:
  
  Use transaction codes like CM01, CM02, or CM03 to view capacity planning and check the planning steps.
  Identify the planning step flagged for deletion.
  
  
  
  Remove the deletion flag:
  
  If the planning step should not be deleted, you can remove the deletion flag.
  This might require direct database update or using specific SAP transactions or reports designed to reset the deletion flag.
  Consult your SAP Basis or PP consultant before making direct changes.
  
  
  
  Complete the deletion process:
  
  If the planning step is no longer needed, complete the deletion process.
  This might involve running specific background jobs or reports that finalize the deletion.
  For example, check if there are any pending deletion jobs or use transaction CM14 (Capacity Planning: Delete Planning Step) to finalize deletion.
  
  
  
  Check for dependent objects:
  
  Sometimes, the planning step cannot be deleted because dependent objects (like production orders, capacity reservations) still exist.
  Remove or reassign these dependencies before deleting the planning step.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Service Marketplace or SAP Support Portal for any notes related to WXP119.
  Sometimes, patches or corrections are available if this is caused by a system bug.
