  The SAP error message S04123 typically indicates an issue related to data deletion in the SAP system. This message is often associated with the deletion of data records in a specific table or database, where the system is unable to delete certain entries due to constraints or dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Data Integrity Constraints: The error may arise if there are foreign key constraints or dependencies that prevent the deletion of the specified data.
  Change Time Stamp: The message specifically mentions "except change time stamp," which suggests that the system is trying to delete data but is unable to do so because of a timestamp or versioning issue.
