While Checking In " Cannot remove record because it has links"

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have an scenario while checking In MDM records in Data manager showing the following error " Cannot remove record because it has links".

There are 2 main tables Table A and B, both are look up main to each other.

Record 1 from Table A is linked with 5 records in Table B and one of the record from Table B is linked to Record 1 of Table A

All the Records from Table B is checked In. Now am Check-out Record 1 from Table A and trying to Check-In back, while performing the same am getting the following error " Cannot remove record because it has links".

Is this work as per the Look up main design or am I missing anything. Help appreciated.

thanks,

Hi Alex,

Before removing record you need to remove links for those records. By this I mean you must have a field in Table A which is lookup to Table B and vice-versa. So firstly delete this field value which is a sort of relationship between these two tables and afterward only try to delete/remove record.

Hello Alex

I dont understand which record do you want to delete.

Simple rule:

Before deletion you should unlink that record generally.

SAP MDM watching for relations between records.
