• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BC_BOR503 - Entry & & & could not be deleted from table SFLIGHT ?

  The SAP error message BC_BOR503 indicates that an entry in the SFLIGHT table could not be deleted. This error typically arises due to various reasons, including foreign key constraints, data integrity issues, or authorization problems. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The entry you are trying to delete may be referenced by another table. If there are dependent records in other tables that reference the SFLIGHT entry, the deletion will fail.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data itself, such as inconsistencies or corruption that prevent the deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the entry may not have the necessary permissions to perform the deletion.
  
  
  Locking Issues: The entry might be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the deletion.
  
  
  Custom Logic: There may be custom code (like user exits or BAdIs) that prevents the deletion of certain entries based on business logic.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Foreign Key Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for foreign key relationships. Identify any dependent records in other tables and delete them first if appropriate.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to ensure there are no integrity issues. You can use transaction codes like SE14 (Database Utility) to check and repair inconsistencies.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the SFLIGHT table. You can check this using transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the SFLIGHT table. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who holds the lock.
  
  
  Review Custom Logic: If there are any custom enhancements or modifications in place, review them to see if they are preventing the deletion. You may need to adjust the logic accordingly.
  
  
  Use Transaction SE16N: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can use SE16N to view the records in the SFLIGHT table and identify the specific entry that is causing the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Table SFLIGHT: This is a standard SAP table used in the flight booking example. It typically contains flight data such as flight number, connection, and other related information.
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16N (Data Browser), SM12 (Lock Entries), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
