Cause
The Material is still used in a Routing .
The Material was logically deleted from the Routing using the app "Change Routing" but the routing still exists in the database tables.
The CDS View I_MfgBillOfOperationsChgSt can be used to view the Routing
Resolution
The Routing needs to be archived (A) or Physically Deleted (B) before the base unit can be changed.
A) Archiving
Please use the archiving object PP_PLAN to physical delete the routing linked to the Material
Please refer to the online documentation for the object PP_PLAN
B) Physically Deleted
Use the app Delete Task Lists without Archiving
