  Entity Not Found: The entity you are trying to delete may not exist in the database.
  Foreign Key Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints preventing the deletion of the entity. If the entity is referenced by other entities, the system will not allow its deletion.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Entity Existence: Verify that the entity you are trying to delete actually exists in the database. You can do this by querying the database directly or using the appropriate transaction in SAP.
  
  
  Review Foreign Key Relationships: Check if there are any foreign key constraints that might be preventing the deletion. If there are dependent records, you may need to delete them first or modify the relationships.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the entity. You can check the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  
  
  Review Business Logic: If there are any custom business logic or validations implemented in the backend, review them to see if they are preventing the deletion. You may need to adjust the logic or handle exceptions accordingly.
  
  
  Check Data Provider Configuration: Ensure that the data provider is correctly configured and that there are no issues with the OData service itself. You can check the service in the SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT).
