• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPE_INTERFACE260 - Delete of Tier data record &1, &2 failed as it doesn't exist ?

  The SAP error message CPE_INTERFACE260 indicates that there was an attempt to delete a Tier data record, but the operation failed because the specified record does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of managing tier data in SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or similar modules where tier data is used for categorizing customers or products.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Existent Record: The most common cause of this error is that the record you are trying to delete does not exist in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The record was already deleted.
  The record was never created.
  There is a mismatch in the identifiers (e.g., incorrect ID or key).
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in related tables or issues with data synchronization.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the record, leading to a failure in the operation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Record Existence: Check the database or the relevant transaction to confirm whether the record you are trying to delete actually exists. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to look up the relevant table.
  Searching for the record using the appropriate keys.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion: If the record was previously deleted, ensure that your application logic accounts for this scenario. You may need to handle the case where the record does not exist gracefully.
  
  
  Review Input Parameters: Ensure that the parameters you are using to identify the record for deletion are correct. Double-check the IDs or keys being passed to the deletion function.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the deletion has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the failure.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data consistency issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the database is in a healthy state.
