  The SAP error message FB905 indicates that there is an issue when trying to delete a document in the BKORR (Document Change) transaction. Specifically, the error message "BKORM already inserted" suggests that the system is trying to delete a document that has already been processed or inserted into the BKORM (Document Change Log) table.
  Cause:
  
  Document Already Processed: The document you are trying to delete has already been processed and recorded in the BKORM table, which prevents it from being deleted.
  Data Integrity Constraints: SAP has built-in data integrity checks to ensure that documents that have been posted or processed cannot be deleted without proper handling.

  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document you are trying to delete. Ensure that it is not already processed or posted.
  Reverse or Adjust: If the document has been posted, consider reversing the document instead of deleting it. Use the appropriate transaction (e.g., FB08 for reversing a document).
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unsure about the document's status or how to proceed, consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for guidance on handling this specific error.
  Review BKORM Entries: Check the BKORM table to see if there are entries related to the document you are trying to delete. This can provide insight into why the deletion is being blocked.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete documents in the system.
