  The SAP error message XMS_ADM153 indicates that the system is unable to remove a table entry from a specified table. This error typically arises in the context of database operations where the system is trying to delete a record but encounters an issue.
  Causes:
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The entry you are trying to delete may be referenced by other tables due to foreign key constraints. If there are dependent records in other tables, the deletion will fail.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the database schema to identify any foreign key relationships. If there are dependent records, you may need to delete those first or update them to remove the dependency.
  Release Locks: Check if the record is locked by another transaction. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and release locks if necessary.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the appropriate authorizations to perform the operation. You may need to consult with your security team or SAP Basis administrator.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify and resolve any data integrity issues. This may involve using transaction codes like SE11 or SE14 to analyze the table structure and data.
  Review Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the failure.
