  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_RD148 Cannot delete records using function &1 typically indicates that there is an attempt to delete records in a way that is not permitted by the system or the specific function being used. This error can arise in various contexts, such as when working with data records in a specific module or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Function Restrictions: The function you are trying to use (indicated by &1) may not support deletion of records. Some functions are designed only for data retrieval or modification, not deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records in the specified context.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity rules or constraints in place that prevent the deletion of certain records. For example, if the records are linked to other records that must remain intact.

  Solution:
  
  Check Functionality: Verify if the function you are using actually supports record deletion. Consult the documentation or help files related to that function.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to delete records. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles in the SAP system.
  Data Relationships: Investigate if the records you are trying to delete are linked to other records. If they are, you may need to delete or modify those linked records first.
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that system configuration is preventing deletion, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to understand the rules in place.
  Use Alternative Methods: If deletion is not possible, consider whether you can mark the records as inactive or archived instead of deleting them.
