  The SAP error message /GSINS/NLHC_MSG003 indicates that there was an issue when attempting to delete infotype data from a specific database table. This error can occur for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help resolve the issue.
  Cause
  
  Data Locking: The record you are trying to delete may be locked by another user or process. This can prevent the deletion from occurring.
  Foreign Key Constraints: There may be foreign key constraints in the database that prevent the deletion of the record. If the record is referenced by another table, it cannot be deleted until those references are removed.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the record may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity that prevent the deletion from being processed correctly.
  Custom Logic: If there are custom enhancements or user exits in place, they may be interfering with the deletion process.
  
  Solution
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the record you are trying to delete. If you find a lock, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who holds the lock.
  Review Foreign Key Constraints: Check the database schema to see if there are any foreign key constraints that would prevent the deletion. You may need to delete or update related records in other tables first.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the infotype data. You can check this using transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  Data Integrity Check: Run any relevant data integrity checks or consistency checks to ensure that the data is in a valid state.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify any custom logic that may be causing the problem. You can use transaction SE80 or SE37 to analyze the relevant function modules or programs.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal for any known issues related to this error message. There may be specific patches or updates that address the problem.
