• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_DIF133 - Multiple Constraints exits, cannot perform delete ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_DIF133 indicates that there are multiple constraints preventing the deletion of a specific record or entry in the system. This typically occurs in scenarios where the data is linked to other records or where there are dependencies that must be resolved before a deletion can take place.
  Cause:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The record you are trying to delete is linked to other records through foreign key relationships. This means that other tables or entries depend on the existence of the record you are attempting to delete.
  Business Logic Constraints: There may be business rules or logic implemented in the system that prevent the deletion of certain records to maintain data integrity.
  Open Transactions: There might be open transactions or processes that are still referencing the record you want to delete.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to check for foreign key relationships and identify which records are dependent on the one you are trying to delete.
  Remove Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the record, you may need to delete or update the dependent records first. This could involve:
  
  Deleting related entries in other tables.
  Updating records to remove references to the record you want to delete.
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions: Ensure that there are no open transactions or processes that are using the record. You may need to complete or cancel these transactions.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or business rules that may explain why the deletion is restricted.
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs) to gather more information about the issue.
  
  Related Information:
