  The SAP error message /BOBF/COM_GEN_FRAME171 with the text "(-) &1 is not relevant for deletion" typically occurs in the context of Business Object Framework (BOBF) operations, particularly when attempting to delete an object that is not eligible for deletion based on its current state or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Object Status: The object you are trying to delete may be in a status that does not allow deletion. For example, it could be in a "locked" state or have dependencies that prevent it from being deleted.
  Business Logic: The business logic defined in the BOBF framework may explicitly prevent the deletion of certain objects based on specific criteria or conditions.
  Data Integrity: The system may have constraints to maintain data integrity, which means that certain records cannot be deleted if they are referenced by other records or if they are part of a transaction that is still active.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the object, leading to this error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object you are trying to delete. If it is in a locked or non-deletable state, you may need to change its status or unlock it before attempting deletion.
  Review Business Logic: Look into the BOBF configuration and business rules to understand why the object is not eligible for deletion. You may need to adjust the logic if it is too restrictive.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the object in other records. If there are, you may need to delete or update those records first.
  User Authorizations: Confirm that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary permissions. If not, you may need to adjust the user roles or permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to BOBF and the specific business object you are working with for more detailed guidance.
