  SAP Error Message:
  
  WE011 - Number of deleted entries: &
  
  What is the cause of this message?
  
  WE011 is an informational message (not an error) generated during the processing of IDoc data.
  It indicates that a certain number of entries (records) have been deleted from the IDoc database tables during processing.
  This message typically appears when IDocs or related data entries are cleaned up or deleted, for example:
  
  When IDocs are deleted manually or via a program.
  When inbound or outbound IDocs are reprocessed and old entries are removed.
  During cleanup jobs or archiving processes.
  
  
  
  The placeholder & is replaced by the actual number of deleted entries.
  
  What is the solution?
  
  Since WE011 is an informational message, it usually does not require any corrective action.
  It confirms that the deletion process has successfully removed the specified number of entries.
  If you are running a cleanup or deletion program intentionally, this message confirms the operation's success.
  If the deletion was unexpected, investigate why the entries were deleted:
  
  Check if any cleanup jobs (e.g., report RSEIDOCDEL or similar) are scheduled.
  Review user activities or custom programs that might delete IDocs.
  Verify if IDocs were deleted manually via transaction codes like WE02, WE05, or BD87.
