  Consult with SAP Support: If you believe that the deletion is necessary and you have a valid business case, you may need to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP team. They can provide guidance on whether there are any configuration changes that can be made or if there are alternative approaches to achieve your goal.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings related to SEPA mandates in your SAP system. There may be specific settings that govern the deletion of mandates, and adjustments may be possible based on your organization's policies.
