  The SAP error message PBAS_0712001, which states "Delete not possible for infotype 0712," typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete a record from the infotype 0712 (which is related to the "Additional Payments" infotype) that cannot be deleted due to certain conditions or constraints.
  Causes:
  
  
  Data Integrity Constraints: The record you are trying to delete may be linked to other records or may violate data integrity rules. For example, if there are subsequent records that depend on the record you are trying to delete, the system will prevent the deletion to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Status of the Record: The record may be in a status that does not allow deletion. For instance, if the record is locked or if it is part of a closed payroll period, deletion may not be permitted.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the record may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  
  
  Custom Logic: There may be custom validations or enhancements in place that prevent the deletion of certain records based on business rules.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review any dependent records or infotypes that may be linked to the infotype 0712 record you are trying to delete. You may need to delete or modify those records first.
  
  
  Review Record Status: Ensure that the record is not in a status that prohibits deletion. If it is part of a closed payroll period, you may need to reopen the period or make adjustments through other means.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary permissions to delete records from infotype 0712. If not, you may need to adjust user roles or permissions.
