• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_COS134 - Group '&1' cannot be deleted because it is not empty ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_COS134 indicates that you are trying to delete a group (likely a configuration or a collection of objects) in the SAP system, but the operation cannot be completed because the group is not empty. This typically means that there are still items or elements associated with the group that need to be addressed before deletion can occur.
  Cause:
  
  Non-empty Group: The group you are trying to delete contains one or more items, such as entities, associations, or other configurations that prevent it from being deleted.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or references to other objects that are preventing the deletion of the group.
  Incorrect Deletion Process: The deletion process may not have been followed correctly, or there may be additional steps required to clear the group.

  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Investigate if there are any dependencies or references to other objects that need to be addressed. This may involve checking related configurations or settings.
