  Review Dependencies: Check if there are any dependent objects that might be preventing the cancellation. You may need to address those dependencies first.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to cancel the object. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to obtain the required permissions.
