Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Database Constraints: The custom function you are trying to delete may be linked to other database objects (like tables, views, or other functions) that prevent its deletion due to referential integrity constraints.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the function may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  Function in Use: The custom function might be currently in use or referenced in other processes, making it impossible to delete.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues such as database locks, corruption, or inconsistencies in the database.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the function, check for any dependencies or references to the function in other objects. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to investigate.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete custom functions. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations if necessary.
  Release Locks: If the function is locked by another process, you may need to identify and release those locks. You can use transaction SM12 to check for and delete any locks.
  Check for Usage: Ensure that the function is not being used in any active processes or configurations. If it is, you may need to deactivate or remove those references first.
  Database Consistency Check: If you suspect database corruption or inconsistencies, consider running a consistency check or repair on the database. This may require assistance from your database administrator.
  Use Transaction /AIF/IFC: If applicable, you can use transaction /AIF/IFC to manage and delete custom functions in AIF.
