• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_OCI044 - Delete Entity failed: &1 ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_OCI044 Delete Entity failed: &1 typically occurs in the context of OData services when there is an issue with deleting an entity from the backend system. The &1 placeholder usually indicates the specific entity or resource that could not be deleted.
  Causes:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The entity you are trying to delete may have related records in other tables that prevent deletion due to foreign key constraints.
  Business Logic: There may be business rules or logic implemented in the backend that prevent the deletion of certain entities.

  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues such as database locks or connectivity problems.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Foreign Key Relationships: Investigate if there are any dependent records that need to be deleted first. You can use transaction codes like SE11 or SE12 to check the database table relationships.
