• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_DML_ENGINE064 - Data part & cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message COM_DML_ENGINE064 typically indicates that a data part cannot be deleted due to certain constraints or dependencies in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of data management and can arise in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete a data record that is still being referenced or is part of a larger dataset.
  Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies: The data part you are trying to delete may be linked to other records or objects in the system. For example, if there are transactions, documents, or other data parts that reference the one you are trying to delete, the system will prevent the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Status Issues: The data part may be in a status that does not allow deletion. For instance, if it is marked as "active" or "in use," the system will restrict deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary permissions to delete the data part.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may prevent the deletion of specific data parts.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the data part for any dependencies. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to check for related records. Ensure that no other records are referencing the data part you want to delete.
  
  
  Change Status: If the data part is in a status that prevents deletion, you may need to change its status to allow for deletion. This could involve changing it to an inactive state or completing any outstanding processes.
  
  
  User Authorization: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the data part. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure the correct roles and permissions are assigned.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines related to the data part you are trying to delete. There may be specific procedures or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on the context, you may need to use specific transaction codes to manage the data part. For example, if it is related to material management, you might use MM02 to change the material status.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide more detailed insights based on your specific system configuration and the context of the error.
