• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 53058 - Record was not deleted ?

  The SAP error message 53058, which states "Record was not deleted," typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete a record in the SAP system, but the deletion fails for some reason. This error can arise in various contexts, such as when dealing with master data, transactional data, or configuration settings.
  Causes:
  
  Data Integrity Constraints: The record may be linked to other records or transactions, preventing its deletion due to referential integrity constraints.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the record.
  System Settings: Certain system settings or configurations may prevent the deletion of specific records.
  Status of the Record: The record may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it may be marked as "locked" or "archived").
  Custom Logic: Custom code or enhancements (like user exits or BAdIs) may be preventing the deletion based on specific business rules.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the record is linked to other records. If it is, you may need to delete or modify those linked records first.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the record has the appropriate authorizations. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Examine Record Status: Check the status of the record to see if it can be deleted. If it is locked or archived, you may need to change its status first.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or module you are working with to understand any constraints on deletion.
  Debugging: If you suspect custom logic is involved, you may need to debug the process to identify where the deletion is being blocked.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for assistance.
