  The SAP error message MDG_GW_FIORI015 ("Selected record cannot be deleted") typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when a user attempts to delete a record that is either locked, has dependencies, or is otherwise not eligible for deletion. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Record Locking: The record may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  Dependencies: The record may have dependencies or relationships with other records that prevent it from being deleted. For example, if the record is referenced in other master data or transactions.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the record.
  Status of the Record: The record may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it may be marked as "active" or "approved").
  Business Rules: There may be specific business rules configured in the system that prevent deletion of certain records.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Locks: Verify if the record is locked by another user. You can use transaction code SM12 to check for locks and release them if necessary.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate if the record has any dependencies. You can check related records or transactions that might be referencing the record you are trying to delete.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the record. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  Change Record Status: If the record is in a status that does not allow deletion, consider changing its status to one that does, if applicable.
  Consult Business Rules: Review any business rules or configurations in the MDG system that might prevent deletion. This may require collaboration with your SAP functional team or MDG consultants.
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, try using the relevant transaction codes (like MDG_MAT for material master) to delete the record directly, as sometimes the Fiori app may have limitations.
