  The SAP error message RP152, which states "Event & & cannot be deleted," typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) or Payroll processing when there is an attempt to delete an event that is either not allowed or does not exist in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Event Not Found: The event you are trying to delete may not exist in the system or may have already been deleted.
  Event in Use: The event might be linked to other processes or records that prevent its deletion. For example, if the event is part of a payroll run or is associated with a specific employee record, it cannot be deleted until those dependencies are resolved.

  Consult Configuration: If the event is configured to be non-deletable, you may need to consult with your SAP HR configuration team to understand the business rules behind this setting.
  Use Alternative Methods: If deletion is not possible, consider whether you can mark the event as inactive or use other methods to achieve your business requirements without deleting the event.
