• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GC1/MSG073 - Object &1 &2 cannot be deleted; package assignment is not permitted (&3) ?

  The SAP error message /GC1/MSG073 indicates that an object (such as a program, function module, or class) cannot be deleted because it is assigned to a package that does not allow deletion. This typically occurs in the context of transport management and package assignments in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Package Assignment: The object you are trying to delete is assigned to a package that is not allowed to be modified or deleted. This can happen if the package is a standard package or if it has been locked for development.
  Transport Request: The object may be part of a transport request that is currently in use or has been released, preventing any changes to it.
  Object Status: The object might be in a status that does not allow deletion, such as being part of a transport that is already released.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Package Assignment: Verify the package assignment of the object. If it is assigned to a standard package (like SAP standard packages), you will not be able to delete it. You may need to create a custom package for your development objects.
  Change Package: If the object is in a package that you control, consider changing its package assignment to a different package that allows deletion.
  Transport Request: Ensure that the object is not part of an active transport request. If it is, you may need to remove it from the transport request or wait until the transport is completed.
  Object Status: Check the status of the object. If it is locked or in a state that prevents deletion, you may need to unlock it or change its status.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the object. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the object details and package assignments.
  Transport Organizer: Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests and check if the object is part of any transport.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
