  The SAP error message MDG_TR061 ("Start the deletion method for object &1") typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there is an issue related to the deletion of a master data object. This error indicates that the system is unable to initiate the deletion process for the specified object.
  Cause:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion operation.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be dependencies or relationships with other objects that prevent the deletion of the specified object.
  Custom Logic: If there are custom implementations (like BAdIs or user exits) that handle deletion, they may not be functioning correctly.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database constraints or inconsistencies in the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Locking: Ensure that the object is not locked by another user. You can use transaction code SM12 to check for locks.

  Check Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or relationships with other objects that need to be resolved before deletion. This may involve checking related master data or transactional data.
  Debug Custom Logic: If there are custom implementations involved in the deletion process, debug the logic to identify any issues.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or information that can provide more context about the failure.
  Technical Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
