• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB051 - Error during deletion in table &1 ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB051, which indicates "Error during deletion in table &1," typically occurs when there is an issue with deleting entries from a specific database table in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including data integrity issues, foreign key constraints, or system configuration problems.
  Causes:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The entry you are trying to delete may be referenced by other tables, preventing its deletion due to referential integrity rules.
  Locking Issues: The record may be locked by another user or process, which can prevent deletion.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or corruption in the data that prevent the deletion from being processed.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary permissions to delete records from the specified table.
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom programs or enhancements that interact with the table, they may be causing issues during the deletion process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Foreign Key Relationships: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the foreign key relationships for the table in question. Ensure that there are no dependent records in related tables.
  Release Locks: If the record is locked, identify the user or process holding the lock and resolve it. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify and resolve any data integrity issues. This may involve using transaction codes like SE14 (Database Utility) or DB02 (Database Performance).
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the table. You can check this using transaction SU53 (Authorization Check).
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program or transaction that is attempting the deletion to identify any custom logic that may be causing the error.
