• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/UI_CONTROLLER034 - Record could not be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/UI_CONTROLLER034 Record could not be deleted typically occurs in the context of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) module, particularly when dealing with data records in the context of the Supply Chain Data Lifecycle (SCDL). This error indicates that the system was unable to delete a specific record, which can be due to various reasons.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Record Locking: The record you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently using the record.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be dependencies or relationships with other records that prevent deletion. For example, if the record is linked to other data (like orders, deliveries, etc.), the system may not allow deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the record may not have the necessary permissions to perform the deletion.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may prevent the deletion of specific records based on business rules or settings.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database constraints or issues with the application logic.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the record. If another user is holding a lock, you may need to wait until they release it.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate if the record is linked to other records. You may need to delete or modify those related records first before you can delete the target record.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the record. You can check this with your SAP security team or by reviewing the user roles and permissions.
  Consult Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings related to the specific module or data type to see if there are any restrictions on deletion.
  Error Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that might provide additional context on why the deletion failed.
  Technical Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM12 (to check locks), SLG1 (to view application logs), and SE11 (to check table definitions).
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the error message for any specific fixes or recommendations provided by SAP.
  Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for the SCM module to understand the data lifecycle and any constraints that may apply to record deletion.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
