  The SAP error message COCMN128, which states "Component & cannot be deleted automatically," typically occurs in the context of managing components in a production order or a bill of materials (BOM). This error indicates that the system is unable to automatically delete a specified component due to certain constraints or conditions.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The component may have dependencies or links to other objects (e.g., production orders, purchase orders, or stock) that prevent its deletion.
