  The SAP error message UPS1142 ("Delete: &1: No entries were found for the selection") typically occurs when you attempt to delete entries from a database table or a specific dataset, but the system cannot find any entries that match the criteria you provided. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with user profiles, master data, or transactional data.
  Cause:
  
  No Matching Entries: The most common cause is that the selection criteria you used do not match any existing entries in the database. This could be due to incorrect input values, filters, or conditions.
  Data Already Deleted: The entries you are trying to delete may have already been deleted by another process or user.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or delete the entries, leading to the perception that no entries exist.

  Solution:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria you used to ensure they are correct. Make sure you are looking for the right entries with the correct parameters.

  Review Logs: Check system logs or change logs to see if the entries were deleted by another user or process.
