The SAP error message
/CUM/CONMS016
indicates that a master order is assigned to a construction measure, and as a result, you cannot delete that construction measure. This error typically arises in the context of project management or construction management within SAP, particularly when dealing with construction measures (or "construction activities") that are linked to master orders.Cause:
- Master Order Assignment: The construction measure you are trying to delete is linked to a master order. This means that the system recognizes that there are dependencies or relationships that prevent the deletion.
- Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that related data is not inadvertently deleted, which could lead to inconsistencies in project management or financial reporting.
Solution:
To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
Check Assignments: Verify if the construction measure is indeed assigned to a master order. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., using transaction codes like
CJ20N
for project management) and checking the relationships.Unassign the Master Order: If you determine that the construction measure should be deleted, you will need to first unassign it from the master order. This may involve:
- Modifying the master order to remove the assignment.
- Ensuring that there are no other dependencies or references to the construction measure.
Delete the Construction Measure: Once the construction measure is unassigned from the master order, you should be able to delete it without encountering the error.
Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of unassigning or deleting the construction measure, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
Check for Related Transactions: Sometimes, there may be related transactions or processes that need to be completed before you can delete the construction measure. Ensure that all related activities are finalized.
Related Information:
CJ20N
(Project Builder), CJ02
(Change Project), and CJ03
(Display Project) to manage projects and construction measures effectively.If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP administrator or technical support team for further assistance.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
