• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IU - Incremental Conversion (ICNV)

• Message number: 558

• Message text: Not all entries were deleted

What causes this issue?

Some of the selected entries could not be deleted because the
corresponding tables are not in one of the statuses required for the
deletion.
Only entries for which the conversion was either completed or not begun
are deleted. You are probably in the middle of the conversion process.
If you delete the entry now, the table will be removed from processing,
leaving the table in an undefined status.

A table which does not have a valid status is excluded from the
deletion process.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IU558 - Not all entries were deleted ?

  The SAP error message IU558, which states "Not all entries were deleted," typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete entries from a database table or a specific transaction, but some entries could not be removed due to various reasons. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The entries you are trying to delete may be linked to other entries in different tables through foreign key relationships. If there are dependent records, the deletion will fail.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete certain entries, leading to partial deletion.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues, such as inconsistencies in the database that prevent the deletion of certain records.
  
  
  Locked Entries: The entries you are trying to delete might be locked by another user or process, preventing their deletion.
  
  
  Custom Logic: Custom code or enhancements (like user exits or BAdIs) may be preventing the deletion of certain entries based on specific business logic.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the database relationships and ensure that there are no dependent records that would prevent deletion. You may need to delete or update these dependent records first.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the delete operation. You can check the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the relevant tables to identify and resolve any data integrity issues. This may involve using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility).
  
  
  Unlock Entries: If entries are locked, identify the user or process that is holding the lock and resolve the issue. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
  
  
  Debug Custom Logic: If there are custom enhancements in place, you may need to debug the code to understand why the deletion is being blocked. This may require the assistance of a developer.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on the context of the error, you may need to use specific transaction codes to manage the entries, such as:
  
  SE11: Data Dictionary
  SE14: Database Utility
  SM12: Lock Entries
  SM21: System Log
