This error indicates that there is a price fixation or a pricing condition that is preventing the deletion of a quantity in a document, such as a sales order or a purchase order.
  Cause:
  
  
  Price Fixation: The primary cause of this error is that there is a price fixation in place for the item or quantity you are trying to delete. Price fixation can occur due to various reasons, such as:
  
  A contract or agreement that has fixed prices for certain items.
  Pricing conditions that have been set up in the system which are linked to the item.

  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for changes, such as being locked or in a completed state.
  
  
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or links to other documents or processes that require the quantity to remain intact.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Price Fixation:
  
  Review the pricing conditions associated with the item. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., VA03 for sales orders, ME23N for purchase orders) and checking the conditions tab.

  Remove Price Fixation:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you may need to remove or adjust the price fixation. This could involve changing the pricing conditions or modifying the contract.
  
  
  
  Document Status:
  
  Ensure that the document is not in a status that prevents changes. If it is, you may need to change the status or create a new document.
  
  
  
  Consult with a Colleague or SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed, consult with a colleague who has experience with pricing and contracts in SAP, or reach out to SAP support for assistance.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
