  The SAP error message 881194, which states "Cannot delete in full (see long text)," typically occurs when you attempt to delete a document or entry in SAP that cannot be fully deleted due to certain constraints or dependencies. This error is often related to data integrity rules within the SAP system, which prevent the deletion of records that are linked to other records or that are part of a larger transaction.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The document you are trying to delete may have dependencies, such as linked documents, entries in other tables, or related transactions that prevent its deletion.
  Status Restrictions: The document may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it may be completed, posted, or locked).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the document.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules that prevent the deletion of records that would lead to inconsistencies in the database.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the document for any linked entries or dependencies. You may need to delete or modify these linked entries before you can delete the main document.
  Change Document Status: If the document is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status (if applicable) or reversing any transactions associated with it.

  Consult Long Text: The error message often has a long text that provides additional details about why the deletion cannot be performed. Check the long text for specific information related to your situation.
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on the type of document, you may need to use specific transaction codes to manage or delete the document (e.g., using transaction codes like FB08 for reversing accounting documents).
