• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CV163 - Error during delete: of & records, & records were updated ?

  The SAP error message CV163 typically indicates an issue during a deletion process in the system, where the system is unable to delete certain records because they have been updated or are in use. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to delete master data, transactional data, or configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The records you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion.
  Dependencies: The records may have dependencies or relationships with other records that prevent them from being deleted.
  Status Issues: The records might be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., they are marked as "active" or "in use").
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the records.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity constraints in place that prevent the deletion of certain records.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the records you are trying to delete. If you find locks, you may need to wait for the other user/process to release them or contact the user to resolve the issue.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate if the records have dependencies with other records. You may need to delete or update related records first.
  Change Status: If the records are in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing their status to allow deletion.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary authorizations. You can check this using transaction code SU53 after the error occurs.
  Data Integrity: Review any data integrity constraints that may be in place. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or development team to understand these constraints better.
  
  Related Information:
