• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPMASS005 - No data records deleted ?

  The SAP error message CPMASS005, which states "No data records deleted," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete data records in a mass processing transaction, but the system finds no records that meet the criteria for deletion. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using mass maintenance tools or batch processing functions.
  Causes:
  
  No Matching Records: The most common cause is that there are no records in the database that match the selection criteria specified by the user.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The filters or selection criteria used to identify records for deletion may be too restrictive or incorrectly defined.
  Data Locking: The records may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the records.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be constraints in place that prevent the deletion of certain records due to dependencies or relationships with other data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used for the deletion process to ensure they are correct and not overly restrictive. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
  Verify Data Existence: Use a query or report to check if the records you intend to delete actually exist in the system.

  Consult Data Integrity Rules: Review any data integrity rules or constraints that may prevent the deletion of records. This may involve checking relationships with other tables or data.
