This error indicates that the system encountered a problem while trying to map the DELETE request to the corresponding entity in the backend.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Incorrect Entity Key: The DELETE request may be trying to delete an entity that does not exist or is not correctly identified by the key provided in the request.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user making the DELETE request may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the delete operation on the specified entity.
  
  
  Service Configuration: The OData service may not be properly configured to handle DELETE operations for the specified entity.
  
  
  Backend Logic: There may be issues in the backend logic (e.g., ABAP code) that handle the DELETE operation, such as missing or incorrect implementation of the DELETE method.
  
  
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity constraints in the database that prevent the deletion of the entity.
  
  
  Solution

  Debug Backend Logic: If you have access to the backend code, debug the implementation of the DELETE method to identify any issues. Look for any exceptions or errors that may be raised during the execution of the DELETE operation.
  
  
  Check Data Integrity: Investigate any data integrity constraints that may be preventing the deletion. This could involve checking for foreign key relationships or other dependencies that need to be resolved before the entity can be deleted.
