• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E1273 - Not all IDocs could be deleted ?

  The SAP error message E1273, which states "Not all IDocs could be deleted," typically occurs when there is an issue with the deletion of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) in the SAP system. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  IDoc Status: The IDocs you are trying to delete may not be in a status that allows deletion. For example, IDocs that are in a processed or error status may not be deletable.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete certain IDocs.
  Database Locks: There may be database locks on the IDocs, preventing their deletion.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database inconsistencies or problems with the IDoc processing logic.
  Batch Jobs: If IDocs are being processed by batch jobs or other background processes, they may not be deletable until those processes are completed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDocs you are trying to delete. Ensure they are in a status that allows deletion (e.g., "51" for "processed" IDocs may not be deletable).
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete IDocs. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Release Locks: If there are database locks, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or manually release them if you have the necessary permissions.
  Use Transaction Code: You can use transaction code WE19 to test and simulate IDoc processing, which may help identify issues with specific IDocs.
  Check for Background Jobs: Ensure that there are no background jobs or processes that are currently using the IDocs you are trying to delete.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that may provide insight into why the deletion failed.
  Technical Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or technical support team for further investigation, especially if there are database inconsistencies or other technical issues.
