• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ618 - No entries could be deleted ?

  The SAP error message OQ618 ("No entries could be deleted") typically occurs when you attempt to delete entries in a transaction or table, but the system finds that there are no entries that meet the criteria for deletion. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with production orders, inventory management, or other modules where data entries are maintained.
  Causes:
  
  No Matching Entries: The most common cause is that there are no entries in the database that match the criteria you specified for deletion.
  Data Locking: The entries you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the entries.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the criteria you are using to select entries for deletion. Ensure that they are correct and that there are indeed entries that match those criteria.

  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Check for Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or relationships with other data that might prevent deletion. For example, if the entries are linked to other documents or records, you may need to delete those first.
  Use Alternative Methods: If direct deletion is not possible, consider using alternative methods such as marking the entries for deletion or archiving them, depending on your business requirements.
