  The SAP error message "51091 No entries removed - no action to be taken" typically occurs when you are trying to delete or remove entries from a database table or a list, but there are no entries that meet the criteria for deletion. This message indicates that the system did not find any records to process, so no action was taken.
  Cause:
  
  No Matching Records: The most common cause is that the selection criteria you provided do not match any records in the database. This could be due to incorrect input values or filters.
  Already Deleted Entries: The entries you are trying to delete may have already been removed in a previous operation.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary permissions to view or delete the entries, leading to the perception that there are no entries to delete.

  Solution:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the criteria you are using to select the entries for deletion. Ensure that they are correct and that you are targeting the right records.
  Verify Data Existence: Before attempting to delete, you can run a query or report to check if the entries you want to delete actually exist in the system.
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the entries. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Check for Locks: If you suspect that the data might be locked, check for any active sessions or transactions that might be holding locks on the data.
  Consult Logs: If the issue persists, check the application logs or system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context.
