• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWA_NBASE139 - &1 &2: It is not possible to delete data during a deletion process. ?

  The SAP error message EEWA_NBASE139 typically indicates that there is an attempt to delete data while another deletion process is already in progress. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with data in the SAP system that is subject to deletion rules or processes.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Deletion Processes: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an ongoing deletion process for the same data set or object. SAP does not allow multiple deletion processes to run simultaneously to maintain data integrity.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a deletion process is locked, any attempt to delete the same data will result in this error.
  Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs that perform deletions may be running, which can lead to this error if another deletion is attempted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Active Deletion Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check if there are any active background jobs that are performing deletions.
  If you find any, wait for those jobs to complete before attempting your deletion again.
  
  
  
  Review Lock Entries:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for lock entries. If you find locks related to the data you are trying to delete, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or contact your system administrator to resolve the locks.
  
  
  
  Retry the Deletion: 
  
  After ensuring that no other deletion processes are running, try to perform the deletion again.
  
  
  
  System Logs: 
  
  Check system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional information or errors that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or data you are working with, as there may be specific guidelines or known issues.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: 
  
  If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
