  SAP Error Message:
  WA004 &1 queue entries in status "&2" were deleted
  
  1. 
  Cause:
  This message typically appears when SAP deletes entries from a queue (such as an IDoc queue, print queue, or background job queue) that are in a particular status. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent:
  
  &1: Number of queue entries deleted
  &2: Status of those queue entries (e.g., "Error", "Waiting", "In Process")
  
  The deletion usually happens because:
  
  The queue entries are stuck in an error or inconsistent status.
  The entries are obsolete or no longer needed.
  A cleanup or administration job/process was run to remove old or problematic queue entries.
  Manual deletion by an administrator or automatically by a system job to maintain system performance and avoid queue overload.
  
  
  2. 
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the queue status and reason for deletion:
  
  Identify why the queue entries were in the problematic status.
  Use transaction codes related to the queue type, for example:
