  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_AT155 System error when updating the distribution data (Delete alloc. table)
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during the update or deletion process of allocation tables related to distribution data in SAP. The root causes can include:
  
  Database inconsistencies or locks: The allocation table that SAP tries to update or delete might be locked by another process or corrupted.
  Authorization issues: The user or process attempting the update may lack the necessary authorizations.
  Program or interface errors: A bug or inconsistency in the program logic that handles distribution data updates.
  Missing or inconsistent master data: If the distribution data or related master data is incomplete or inconsistent, the system may fail to update the allocation tables.
  Transport or system inconsistencies: If the system was recently upgraded or transport requests were imported incorrectly, related tables might be inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Locks:

  Ensure the user or background job has the required authorizations to update/delete distribution data.

  Database Consistency Check:
  
  Run database consistency checks on the relevant tables.
  Use transaction DB02 or database-specific tools to check for table inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Review and Correct Master Data:
  
  Verify that all related master data (e.g., distribution keys, cost centers) are valid and consistent.
  Correct any inconsistencies found.
