  The SAP error message CV172, which states "Error during insert: Of & records, & records were updated," typically occurs during data processing operations, such as when trying to insert records into a database table. This error indicates that while the system attempted to insert a certain number of records, only a portion of them were successfully updated or inserted, leading to a failure in the operation.
  Causes:
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The records being inserted may violate data integrity constraints, such as primary key violations, foreign key constraints, or unique constraints.
  Database Locking: The target database table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the insert operation from completing.
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the insert.
  Data Format Issues: The data being inserted may not conform to the expected format or data type defined in the database schema.
  System Resource Limitations: There may be limitations on the number of records that can be processed in a single transaction, leading to partial updates.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Integrity: Review the data being inserted to ensure it adheres to all constraints defined in the database schema. Look for duplicate keys or invalid foreign key references.

  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the insert operation. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Data Format Validation: Validate the data format and types before attempting the insert. Ensure that all fields match the expected data types and formats.
  Batch Processing: If inserting a large number of records, consider breaking the operation into smaller batches to avoid hitting system limits.
  Check Application Logs: Review application logs (using transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context on the failure.
  
  Related Information:
