  The SAP error message DMU083 typically occurs during data migration or data updates when there is an issue with deleting records from a specified table. The message format indicates that there was an attempt to delete records from a table, but the operation was not successful due to some constraints or issues.
  Cause:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The table you are trying to delete records from may have foreign key constraints that prevent deletion if there are related records in other tables.
  Locking Issues: The table might be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the deletion of records.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues that prevent the deletion of certain records.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  Batch Processing Errors: If the deletion is part of a batch process, there may be errors in the batch that prevent successful execution.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the table structure and check for any foreign key constraints. If there are related records in other tables, you may need to delete those first or adjust the constraints.

  Data Integrity Checks: Perform data integrity checks to ensure that the records you are trying to delete do not violate any business rules or constraints.
