Cause

The Obsolete Business Partner Removal Run ensures the deletion of all the Business Partners (BUPAs) fulfilling the criteria in batches of 1000.
Example: If 45000 BUPAs exist and all of them fulfill the criteria, the run will ensure that all 45000 BUPAs are deleted in batches of 1000, this means 45 executions.

Failed removal runs might happen when one run has locked a BUPA for deletion and another run is trying to obtain a lock at the same time.

Resolution

To solve this issue, it is possible to create a new Obsolete Business Partner Removal Run.
