  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MED009: Deletion was canceled by user typically occurs in the context of the SAP Gateway or OData services when a user attempts to delete an entity but cancels the operation. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help resolve the issue.
  Cause:
  
  User Action: The most straightforward cause is that the user explicitly canceled the deletion operation, either by clicking a cancel button or closing the dialog.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the delete operation, leading to a cancellation.
  Business Logic: There may be business logic or validations in place that prevent the deletion from being completed, prompting the user to cancel.
  System Errors: There could be underlying system errors or issues with the OData service that lead to the operation being canceled.
  
  Solution:
  
  Confirm User Intent: Ensure that the user indeed wants to delete the entity. If they canceled the operation intentionally, no further action is needed.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform delete operations on the relevant entities. This can be done by checking the user's roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Review Business Logic: If there are specific business rules or validations that prevent deletion, review them to understand why the deletion was canceled. Adjust the logic if necessary.
  Debugging: If the issue persists and seems to be related to system errors, consider debugging the OData service or checking the application logs for any error messages that could provide more context.
  User Training: If users are frequently canceling deletions unintentionally, consider providing training or guidance on the deletion process to reduce confusion.
