This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for resolving it.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The record you are trying to delete may have dependencies or references in other tables, which prevents the deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the record.
  Locked Records: The record might be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom programs or enhancements that interfere with the standard deletion process, they may cause this error.
  Database Constraints: There may be database-level constraints (like foreign key constraints) that prevent the deletion of the record.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the record has any dependencies in other tables. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for foreign key relationships.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary authorizations. You can check this using transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures.

  Check Database Constraints: Review the database constraints to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the deletion. You may need to consult with your database administrator if necessary.
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on the context of the error, you may want to use specific transaction codes (like CO02 for order processing) to attempt the deletion in a different way.
