  SAP Error Message:
  WZ071 - Parts of job &1 &2 cannot be deleted
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to delete parts (components or operations) of a maintenance or production job (order), but the system prevents the deletion because these parts are already referenced or used in other related documents or processes. 
  Common causes include:
  
  The parts are already confirmed or have goods movements posted.
  The parts are assigned to other dependent objects or linked to other orders.
  The parts are involved in reservations, confirmations, or have been partially processed.
  The system integrity rules prevent deletion to avoid inconsistencies in order data.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When trying to delete components or operations from a maintenance order or production order.
  When the system detects that the parts are in use or have transactional data linked to them.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve:
  
  
  Check for Confirmations or Goods Movements:
  
  Verify if the parts have been confirmed or if goods movements (goods issue or receipt) have been posted.
  If yes, you cannot delete these parts directly. You may need to reverse the confirmations or goods movements first.
  
  
  
  Check Reservations:
  
  Check if the parts are reserved for the order.
  If reservations exist, delete or adjust them before deleting the parts.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Look for dependencies such as links to other orders, networks, or projects.
  Remove or adjust these dependencies if possible.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use IW32 (Change Maintenance Order) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to review and manage components.
  Use MB51 or MB52 to check material movements and reservations.
  
  
  
  System Consistency:
  
  If the system prevents deletion due to consistency reasons, consider whether deletion is necessary or if the parts should be marked as not used or scrapped instead.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Support:
  
  If the issue persists, check SAP Notes for any known bugs or patches related to message WZ071.
  Contact SAP support if needed.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:

  This is a warning message, so the system is cautioning you about potential data integrity issues.
