  Settings used for deleting movement data
  
  1. Cause
  The error message WFCS207 typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Logistics Execution when the system attempts to delete or process movement data (such as material movements, goods movements, or related workflow data), but the deletion settings or parameters are either missing, incorrect, or not properly maintained.
  More specifically:
  
  The system is trying to delete movement data related to a workflow or logistics process.
  The deletion settings/configuration that control how and when movement data can be deleted are either not set or incorrectly set.
  This can happen if the customizing for deletion of movement data is incomplete or inconsistent.
  It may also occur if the user or process does not have the necessary authorizations or if the deletion is attempted in an incorrect system state.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WFCS207 error, follow these steps:
  a) Check and Maintain Deletion Settings
  
  Go to the relevant IMG (Implementation Guide) node for movement data deletion settings. This is often under Logistics Execution or Workflow customizing.
  For example, in Logistics Execution, check the settings for deletion of transfer orders, deliveries, or material documents.
  Ensure that the deletion parameters are correctly maintained for the relevant movement types or document types.
  
  b) Verify Workflow or Process Configuration
  
  If the error occurs in a workflow context, verify the workflow container and the steps that handle movement data deletion.
  Make sure that the workflow is correctly configured to handle deletion and that the necessary data is passed correctly.
  
  c) Check Authorizations
  
  Ensure that the user or background job executing the deletion has the required authorizations to delete movement data.
  Check roles and authorizations related to logistics document deletion.
  
  d) Review System Logs and Trace
  
  Use transaction codes like SM21 (System Log), ST22 (Dump Analysis), or SWI1 (Workflow Log) to get more details about the error context.
  This can help identify if the error is due to missing data, incorrect parameters, or authorization issues.
