  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review any existing documents (purchase orders, contracts, etc.) that may be linked to the supplier. You may need to delete or modify these documents before attempting to delete the supplier.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete suppliers. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.

  Consult System Configuration: If there are specific configurations that prevent deletion, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to understand the settings and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like BP for Business Partner) to check the supplier's details and dependencies.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for more detailed error messages that may provide additional context on why the deletion failed.
