• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSBP_TC269 - Error when calling the delete function; parameter I_TAB_IDNUM is initial ?

  The SAP error message FSBP_TC269 indicates that there is an issue when trying to call the delete function in the context of a specific operation, likely related to the Business Partner (BP) or Financial Services module. The error specifically states that the parameter I_TAB_IDNUM is initial, meaning that it has not been populated with a valid value when the delete function is invoked.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Input Parameter: The parameter I_TAB_IDNUM is expected to contain an identifier for the record you are trying to delete. If this parameter is empty (initial), the system cannot proceed with the delete operation.
  Incorrect Logic in Custom Code: If there is custom code or a user exit that is supposed to populate this parameter, it may not be functioning correctly.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be a situation where the data you are trying to delete does not exist or has already been deleted, leading to an empty identifier.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Parameters: Ensure that the I_TAB_IDNUM parameter is being correctly populated before the delete function is called. This may involve checking the logic in the program or transaction that is invoking the delete function.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can set breakpoints and debug the program to see why I_TAB_IDNUM is not being populated. Look for the point in the code where this parameter is set and verify that it is being assigned a valid value.
  Review Custom Code: If there is any custom development involved, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles the deletion logic and populates all necessary parameters.
  Check for Data Existence: Verify that the record you are trying to delete actually exists in the database. If it has already been deleted or never existed, you may need to handle this case in your logic.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module or method you are using for deletion to ensure you are following the correct procedure.
