• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1E473 - No selected record successfully deleted (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message 1E473 ("No selected record successfully deleted (see long text)") typically occurs when you attempt to delete a record in SAP, but the system is unable to complete the deletion process. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Record Locking: The record you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion.
  Dependencies: The record may have dependencies or relationships with other records that prevent it from being deleted. For example, if the record is linked to other data (like a sales order linked to a customer), it cannot be deleted until those links are resolved.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the record.

  Incorrect Selection: The record you are trying to delete may not have been selected correctly, or it may not exist in the database.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the record. If another user has locked the record, you may need to wait until they release it.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate if the record has any dependencies. You may need to delete or modify related records before you can delete the target record.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the record. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to check your permissions.
  Check Data Integrity: Review any data integrity constraints that may be preventing the deletion. This may involve checking configuration settings or data relationships.
