This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.

  Foreign Key Constraints: The entry you are trying to delete may be referenced by other tables due to foreign key constraints. If there are dependent records in other tables, the deletion will fail.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  
  
  Database Locking: The record may be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the deletion.

  Technical Errors: There could be technical issues, such as database corruption or problems with the database connection.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Foreign Key Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table structure and see if there are any foreign key dependencies. If there are dependent records, you will need to delete those first.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures.
  
  
  Release Locks: If the record is locked, you can use transaction SM12 to check for locks and release them if necessary. Ensure that you are not disrupting other users' work.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the data to identify and resolve any integrity issues. You may need to consult with your database administrator for this.
  
  
  Check for Technical Issues: If you suspect a technical issue, check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any errors or warnings that might indicate a problem with the database.
