  The SAP error message CRM_WSC204, which states "Tree could not be deleted," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module when there is an issue with deleting a tree structure, such as a hierarchy or organizational structure.
  Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies: The tree structure you are trying to delete may have dependencies or references in other parts of the system. For example, if there are existing relationships, assignments, or data linked to the tree, the system will prevent deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the tree structure. This can happen if the user role does not include permissions for deletion operations.
  
  
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity constraints that prevent the deletion of the tree. This could be due to business rules defined in the system.
  
  
  System Errors: There could be temporary system errors or inconsistencies in the database that are causing the deletion to fail.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the tree, check for any existing dependencies or references. You may need to remove or reassign these dependencies before the tree can be deleted.

  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like CRMD_ORDER or similar) to navigate to the tree structure and check for any issues or dependencies directly in the CRM interface.
