  The SAP error message RSM1320 indicates that a specific data request (identified by the request number &1) has been terminated during the deletion process. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) systems when there are issues with data requests in the data warehouse.
  Cause:
  
  Request Termination: The request may have been terminated due to various reasons, such as system errors, data inconsistencies, or manual interruptions during the deletion process.
  Locking Issues: The request might be locked by another process or user, preventing it from being deleted.
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the request from being deleted properly.
  Background Job Failures: If the deletion was part of a background job, the job may have failed, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM1320 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Request Status:
  
  Go to the transaction code RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSMO (Manage Data Requests).
  Check the status of the request in question. If it is still in a "terminated" state, you may need to take further action.
  
  
  
  Delete the Request:
  
  If the request is in a terminated state, try to delete it manually.
  Use transaction code RSA1 or RSMO, find the request, and attempt to delete it.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the request. If you find any locks, you may need to release them.
  Ensure that no other users or processes are currently accessing the request.
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs:
  
  If the deletion was part of a background job, check the job logs in transaction code SM37 to see if there were any errors during execution.
  If the job failed, you may need to correct the underlying issue and re-run the job.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks on the data warehouse to ensure that there are no underlying data issues.
  You can use transaction code RSCONN01 to check for inconsistencies.
