  Causes:
  
  Record Not Found: The record you are trying to delete may not exist in the database.
  Foreign Key Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints preventing the deletion of the record. If other records depend on the record you are trying to delete, the system will not allow the deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the record.
  Business Logic Constraints: There may be business logic implemented in the backend that prevents the deletion of certain records under specific conditions.
  Database Locking: The record may be locked by another transaction, preventing its deletion.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Record Existence: Verify that the record you are trying to delete actually exists in the database.
  Review Foreign Key Relationships: Check if there are any foreign key relationships that might be preventing the deletion. You may need to delete dependent records first.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Review Business Logic: If there are custom business rules or logic implemented, review them to understand why the deletion is being blocked.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the record. If a lock exists, you may need to wait for the other transaction to complete or resolve the lock.
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the process to identify the exact point of failure and the value of SY-SUBRC.
