  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database constraints or issues with the APO system configuration.

  Review Data Integrity: Ensure that the data you are trying to delete does not have dependencies or references in other tables. You may need to delete related data first or adjust your deletion strategy.
  
  
  Verify Authorizations: Check the user’s authorizations to ensure they have the necessary permissions to delete the data. You can use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you are using for the deletion. Ensure that they are correct and that you are targeting the right data.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context about the failure.
