• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ABADR074 - Deleted entries cannot be deleted again ?

  The SAP error message ABADR074: Deleted entries cannot be deleted again typically occurs when you attempt to delete an entry in a table that has already been marked as deleted. This error is common in scenarios involving database operations where the system is trying to delete a record that has already been flagged for deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Delete Operation: The most common cause of this error is that the entry you are trying to delete has already been deleted in a previous operation. In SAP, when an entry is deleted, it is often marked as deleted rather than physically removed from the database.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with data integrity where the application logic does not correctly handle the state of the entries.
  Incorrect Logic in Custom Code: If there is custom ABAP code or enhancements that attempt to delete entries without checking their current status, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Entry Status: Before attempting to delete an entry, check if it is already marked as deleted. You can do this by querying the database table to see if the entry exists and its status.
  Modify Logic: If you are using custom code, ensure that the logic checks for the existence of the entry and its deletion status before attempting to delete it again.
  Use Correct Function Modules: If you are using function modules or methods to delete entries, ensure that you are using the correct ones that handle the deletion process appropriately.
  Review Application Logic: If this error occurs in a standard SAP transaction, review the application logic or consult SAP support to see if there are known issues or patches available.
  Transaction Rollback: If the error occurs during a transaction, consider rolling back the transaction and re-evaluating the steps leading to the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions and workarounds for common errors.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP debugger, you can set breakpoints to analyze the flow of the program and identify where the deletion attempt is being made.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may be involved in the deletion process, such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or SE37 (Function Module).
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP development team for further investigation.
