This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for finding a solution.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The object you are trying to delete may have dependencies or relationships with other objects that prevent its deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the object.
  Data Integrity Constraints: There may be data integrity constraints in place that prevent the deletion of the object.

  Technical Errors: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database constraints or issues with the BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) being used.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the object for any dependencies or linked records. Ensure that all related objects are deleted or unlinked before attempting to delete the main object.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the delete operation. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations.
