• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FWTM126 - Table &1: &2 records not deleted ?

  The SAP error message FWTM126 indicates that there was an attempt to delete records from a specific table, but the deletion was not successful. The message typically includes the name of the table (&1) and the number of records (&2) that were not deleted.
  Cause:
  The failure to delete records can be attributed to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The records you are trying to delete may be referenced by other tables due to foreign key constraints. If there are dependent records in other tables, the deletion will not be allowed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  
  
  Logical Locks: The records may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues that prevent the deletion of records.
  
  
  Custom Logic: There may be custom code (user exits, BAdIs, etc.) that prevents the deletion of certain records based on business logic.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FWTM126 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the database schema to identify any foreign key relationships that may be preventing the deletion. You may need to delete or update dependent records first.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table. You can check the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU53 or SUIM.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the records you are trying to delete. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the other user/process to release them.
  
  
  Review Custom Logic: If there is custom logic in place, review it to determine if it is preventing the deletion. You may need to adjust the logic or consult with the developer who implemented it.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that may provide more context about the failure.
  
  
  Test in a Development Environment: If possible, replicate the issue in a development or test environment to better understand the cause and test potential solutions without affecting production data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the table structure and any associated logic.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address known issues related to the FWTM126 error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for the specific module or functionality related to the table in question to understand its purpose and constraints.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the FWTM126 error and implement a suitable solution.
