• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CV133 - Error during delete: of & records, & records were updated ?

  The SAP error message CV133 typically indicates an issue during a deletion process in the system, where some records were not deleted as expected. The message format usually states something like: "Error during delete: of & records, & records were updated," where the placeholders represent the number of records involved.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The records you are trying to delete may have dependencies or relationships with other records in the database. For example, if there are foreign key constraints, the system will prevent deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the delete operation may not have the necessary authorizations to delete certain records.
  
  
  System Locking: The records may be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion.
  
  
  Custom Logic: There may be custom code (user exits, BAdIs, etc.) that is preventing the deletion of certain records based on specific business logic.
  
  
  Batch Jobs: If the deletion is part of a batch job, there may be issues with the job configuration or execution.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the records you are trying to delete and check for any dependencies. You may need to delete related records first or adjust the relationships.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the delete operation. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check if the records are locked by another user or process. If they are, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has the lock.
  
  
  Debug Custom Logic: If there is custom logic involved, you may need to debug the code to understand why the deletion is being blocked. This may require the assistance of a developer.
  
  
  Review Batch Job Configuration: If the deletion is part of a batch job, check the job logs in transaction SM37 for any errors or warnings that could provide more context.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or process you are using to perform the deletion.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the underlying data structures and logic.
