  Meaning / Cause:
  
  This message indicates that a certain number of entries (represented by &1) have been deleted from a specific database table (represented by &2).
  It is typically an informational or warning message rather than an error.
  The message usually appears during outbound processing in SAP's Workflow or ALE/IDoc processing, where temporary or intermediate data entries are cleaned up from internal tables or database tables.
  The deletion might be part of a cleanup routine to remove processed or obsolete data to maintain system performance and data consistency.
  The message is generated by a program or function module related to outbound processing, such as in the context of SAP Workflow outbound steps or IDoc outbound queues.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Normal cleanup after successful processing of outbound data.
  Manual or automatic deletion of outdated or processed entries.
  System or user-initiated cleanup jobs.
  Data archiving or housekeeping activities.
  Possible reprocessing or error handling steps that remove entries to avoid duplication.
  
  
  Solution / Action:
  
  Usually no corrective action is required if this message appears as part of normal system operation.
  Verify that the deletion corresponds to expected cleanup activities.
  Check the context in which the message appears (e.g., outbound processing logs, workflow logs, IDoc monitoring).
  If unexpected data loss is suspected:
  
  Investigate the program or job that triggered the deletion.
  Check for any recent changes in custom code or configuration that might cause premature deletion.
  Review related application logs or system logs for errors or warnings.
  
  
  If the deletion causes issues (e.g., missing data or failed processing), restore data from backups or reprocess the affected transactions.
  Consult with the functional team to confirm that the deletion aligns with business processes.
