    The SAP error message MQ485 typically occurs when there is an issue related to data deletion from a table in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including data integrity constraints, authorization issues, or system configuration problems. Below are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information for addressing this error:

    Causes of MQ485 Error

    1. Data Integrity Constraints: The table you are trying to delete data from may have foreign key constraints or other integrity checks that prevent deletion if related records exist in other tables.

    2. Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.

    3. Locking Issues: The table or specific records may be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion.

    4. Custom Logic or Enhancements: There may be custom code (user exits, BAdIs, etc.) that is preventing the deletion due to specific business logic.

    5. System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict deletion of certain records.

    Solutions to MQ485 Error
