• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICLE_DI010 - Deletion is not possible; business partner &1 with role &2 not found ?

  The SAP error message ICLE_DI010 indicates that a deletion operation cannot be performed because the specified business partner (BP) with a particular role is not found in the system. This error typically arises in scenarios where you are trying to delete a business partner that either does not exist or is not assigned the specified role in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Business Partner: The business partner ID you are trying to delete does not exist in the database.
  Incorrect Role: The business partner exists, but it does not have the specified role assigned to it. Business partners can have multiple roles (e.g., customer, vendor), and the deletion operation is role-specific.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in related tables or incorrect configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Business Partner ID: Check if the business partner ID you are trying to delete is correct. You can do this by searching for the business partner in the SAP system using transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) or BP_MON (Business Partner Monitor).
  
  
  Check Assigned Roles: Ensure that the business partner has the role you are trying to delete. You can view the roles assigned to a business partner in the Business Partner transaction (BP) by selecting the relevant business partner and checking the roles tab.
  
  
  Correct Role Assignment: If the business partner exists but does not have the required role, you may need to assign the role first before attempting deletion. This can be done in the BP transaction by editing the business partner and adding the necessary role.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data inconsistencies, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to ensure that the database is in a consistent state.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the business partner. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to errors.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to business partner management for further troubleshooting steps.
