  The SAP error message DBMAN367 typically indicates an issue related to database operations, specifically when attempting to delete entries from a fact table in a data warehouse or reporting environment. This error can arise due to various reasons, including database constraints, locks, or issues with the data model.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Database Locks: The table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the delete operation from completing.

  User Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the table. You may need to adjust roles or permissions accordingly.
