  The SAP error message /SCWM/SYS_DOC_MON052 indicates that the system is unable to delete a data record, typically due to certain constraints or conditions that prevent the deletion. This error is commonly encountered in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Causes:
  
  Data Integrity Constraints: The record you are trying to delete may be linked to other records or transactions, which prevents its deletion to maintain data integrity.

  Open Transactions: There may be open transactions or processes that are still referencing the record.

  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document you are trying to delete. If it is in a completed or locked state, you may need to change its status or unlock it before deletion.
  Review Dependencies: Look for any dependencies or linked records that may be preventing deletion. You may need to delete or modify these linked records first.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the record has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust permissions.
  System Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in the EWM module to see if there are any restrictions on deleting the specific type of record.
  Consult Logs: Review system logs or error logs for more detailed information about why the deletion is failing. This can provide insights into specific constraints or issues.
