  The SAP error message 1E374 indicates that a Business Partner (BP) role is still being used in active accounts and has not been restricted. This typically occurs when you attempt to restrict or delete a Business Partner role that is still assigned to one or more active accounts in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Active Accounts: The Business Partner role you are trying to restrict or delete is still linked to active accounts (e.g., customer accounts, vendor accounts).
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that roles that are actively in use cannot be removed or restricted without first addressing their usage.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Active Accounts:
  
  Use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) or SE16N (Data Browser) to check which accounts are still using the specified role.

  Review Assignments:
  
  Navigate to the Business Partner in question and review the roles assigned to it.
  Check if there are any active customer or vendor accounts that are still using the role you want to restrict.
  
  
  
  Remove or Change Role Assignments:
  
  If the role is still needed for certain accounts, consider whether you can change the role assignment for those accounts.
  If the role is no longer needed, you may need to deactivate or delete the accounts that are using it before you can restrict the role.
  
  
  
  Restrict the Role:
  
  Once you have ensured that no active accounts are using the role, you can proceed to restrict or delete the role as needed.
