• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/FRW_COMMON108 - Data cannot be deleted since deletion is disabled ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/FRW_COMMON108 indicates that an attempt to delete data has failed because deletion is disabled for the specific business object or entity in the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF). This is a common scenario in SAP applications where certain data integrity rules are enforced to prevent accidental or unauthorized deletions.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Disabled: The business object or entity has been configured to disallow deletions. This is often done to maintain data integrity and ensure that important records are not removed inadvertently.
  Business Logic: There may be specific business logic or rules defined in the BOPF that prevent deletion under certain conditions (e.g., if the record is linked to other records).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform deletion operations on the specific business object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the business object in the BOPF. If deletion is indeed required, you may need to modify the configuration to allow deletions. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the BOPF configuration in the SAP system.
  Checking the settings for the specific business object to see if deletion is enabled.
  If necessary, adjust the settings to allow deletion.
  
  
  
  Review Business Logic: If the deletion is being blocked by specific business logic, you may need to analyze the conditions under which deletion is allowed or disallowed. This may involve:
  
  Reviewing the BOPF action definitions and validation rules.
  Modifying the logic if it is appropriate to allow deletion under certain conditions.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to perform the deletion has the necessary authorizations. This can be done by:
  
  Reviewing the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Ensuring that the user has the appropriate permissions for the business object in question.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of enabling deletion or modifying business logic, consult the relevant SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOPF Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF) documentation to understand how business objects are structured and managed.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like BOPF or SE80 to access the BOPF configuration and analyze the business object in question.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution that aligns with your business requirements and data integrity policies.
