  The SAP error message SCBO_DDIC_GENERATION004 indicates that data from a database table is being deleted. This message typically arises during operations that involve data manipulation, such as during the execution of a program or transaction that modifies or deletes data from a database table.
  Cause:
  
  Data Deletion Process: The error is triggered when a process attempts to delete data from a specified database table. This could be due to a manual deletion, a programmatic operation, or a batch job that is designed to clean up or archive data.
  Database Constraints: If there are foreign key constraints or dependencies on the data being deleted, the system may raise this message to indicate that the deletion is in progress.
  Locking Issues: If another process is trying to access the same data while it is being deleted, it may lead to conflicts or errors.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation, leading to a failure in the deletion process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Process: Identify the process or transaction that is attempting to delete the data. Review the logic to ensure that the deletion is intended and that it does not violate any business rules.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any foreign key constraints or dependencies that may prevent the deletion of the data. Ensure that related records are handled appropriately.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete data from the specified table. If not, adjust the user roles or permissions accordingly.
  Database Locks: Investigate if there are any locks on the database table that might be causing the issue. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks and SM21 for system logs.
  Error Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that may provide additional context about the failure.
  Testing: If this is part of a development or testing process, ensure that the deletion logic is tested in a controlled environment before executing it in production.
