How To Fix BA375 - Deleting data from database table &1 is not allowed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BA - Data Archiving

• Message number: 375

• Message text: Deleting data from database table &1 is not allowed

What causes this issue?

This problem may have been caused by the following situations:
Structure &V1& is not known for this archving object/archiving class. It
is not included in the definition of the archiving object/archiving
class, nor was it dynamically registered through an appropriate
implementation of BAdI definition ARC_OBJECT_ADD_TABLE or
ARC_CLASS_ADD_TABLE.
Although structure &V1& is known for this archiving object/archiving
class, it has been specified that structure&V1& may not be deleted.

System Response

The delete program is being terminated.

How to fix this error?

Check the delete program to determine whether the data of structure&V1&
should really be deleted. If not, the delete program must be corrected.
If the data of structure &V1& should really be deleted, then the
structure of the archiving object/archiving class must be made
available. To do so, you have the following options:
Static registration in the definition of the archiving object/archiving
class in transaction AOBJ/ACLA.
If a static registration is not possible or in the case of an
enhancement, structures can be registered dynamically and without modi
fication through an appropriate implementation of the BAdI definition
ARC_OBJECT_ADD_TABLE or ARC_CLASS_ADD_TABLE.
If structure &V1& is already registered, then deletion must be allowed
in the registration.

Procedure for System Administrators

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BA375 - Deleting data from database table &1 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message BA375, which states "Deleting data from database table &1 is not allowed," typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete data from a database table that is protected against deletion. This protection can be due to various reasons, including the table's configuration, data integrity constraints, or business rules defined in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Table Configuration: The table may be configured as a "transparent" or "pooled" table that does not allow direct deletion of records.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints or other integrity rules that prevent deletion of records to maintain data consistency.
  Business Logic: The application logic may have been designed to prevent deletion of certain records to ensure compliance with business processes or regulations.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the record may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the delete operation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Table Configuration: Review the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to see if it is set to allow deletions. If it is a pooled or cluster table, consider whether you need to use a different approach to manage the data.
  Review Foreign Key Constraints: Check for any foreign key relationships that might be preventing the deletion. You may need to delete dependent records first or adjust the relationships.
  Business Process Review: Consult with business stakeholders to understand if the deletion is indeed necessary and if there are alternative approaches (e.g., marking records as inactive instead of deleting).
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to delete records from the specified table. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations.
  Use of Soft Deletion: If deletion is not allowed, consider implementing a "soft delete" approach where records are marked as inactive rather than physically deleted from the database.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the table structure and related function modules.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific table or error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for best practices on data management and deletion processes.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further investigation and resolution.
