  The SAP error message SOAP_UDS018 indicates that no rows were deleted from the database for a specific interface and operation. This error typically occurs in the context of a web service or an interface that is attempting to delete records from a database but fails to do so.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  No Matching Records: The specified criteria for deletion do not match any records in the database. This could be due to incorrect parameters being passed to the delete operation.
  
  
  Database Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints or other database rules that prevent the deletion of certain records.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or service account executing the delete operation may not have the necessary permissions to delete records from the database.
  
  
  Logical Errors: There may be logical errors in the code or configuration that lead to the delete operation being called incorrectly.
  
  
  Transaction Issues: If the delete operation is part of a larger transaction that fails, it may result in no rows being deleted.

  To resolve the SOAP_UDS018 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Parameters: Verify that the parameters being passed to the delete operation are correct and that they correspond to existing records in the database.

  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user or service account has the necessary authorizations to perform delete operations on the relevant database tables.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the code, add logging or debugging statements to trace the execution flow and identify where the process might be failing.
  
  
  Check for Transaction Management: If the delete operation is part of a larger transaction, ensure that the transaction is being managed correctly and that it is not being rolled back due to errors elsewhere.
