• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G4258 - Error while deleting from table & ?

  The SAP error message G4258 typically indicates that there is an issue when attempting to delete entries from a specific table. The error message may arise due to various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The table you are trying to delete from may have foreign key constraints that prevent deletion if there are related records in other tables.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform delete operations on the specified table.
  Data Locking: The record you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion.
  Incorrect Table Name: The table name specified in the error message may be incorrect or not exist in the database.
  Database Integrity Issues: There may be integrity issues within the database that prevent the deletion of records.

  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the database schema to identify any foreign key relationships. If there are dependent records in other tables, you may need to delete those first or use cascading deletes if appropriate.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the delete operation has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  Release Locks: Check if the record is locked by another user or process. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and release locks if necessary.
