• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_EDR_MESSAGES202 - Error during DELETE to table &1 (RC = &2) ?

  The SAP error message CRM_EDR_MESSAGES202 indicates that there was an error during a DELETE operation on a specific database table. The message typically includes the name of the table (&1) and the return code (&2) that provides additional context about the nature of the error.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: If there are foreign key constraints in place, attempting to delete a record that is referenced by another table will result in an error.
  Locking Issues: The record you are trying to delete may be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the delete operation from completing.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the delete operation may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action on the specified table.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity that prevent the deletion, such as invalid data or inconsistencies in the database.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as corruption or misconfiguration, that are causing the delete operation to fail.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the database schema to identify any foreign key constraints that may be preventing the deletion. You may need to delete dependent records first.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the table. If a lock is found, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who holds the lock.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the delete operation has the necessary authorizations. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures.
  
  
  Data Integrity Check: Verify the integrity of the data in the table. You can use transaction SE11 to check the table structure and ensure that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check Return Code: Analyze the return code (RC = &2) provided in the error message. Different return codes can indicate different issues, so refer to SAP documentation or support for specific meanings.
  
  
  Database Administration: If the issue persists, consult with your database administrator to check for any underlying database issues or to perform maintenance tasks.
