  The SAP error message /CFG/APPL_CFGENT011 indicates that you are trying to delete an organizational unit (org unit) that is currently being used by combined type organizational units. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Organizational Management (OM) or similar modules where organizational structures are defined.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency on Combined Org Units: The org unit you are attempting to delete is part of a combined organizational unit. Combined org units are those that aggregate multiple org units for reporting or structural purposes.
  Active Relationships: There may be active relationships or assignments that link the org unit to other entities, such as positions, jobs, or other org units.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific configuration settings that prevent the deletion of org units that are still in use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the org unit, check if it is being used in any combined org units. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration or reporting transactions in SAP.
  Remove Relationships: If the org unit is linked to other entities, you will need to remove those relationships first. This may involve:
  
  Unassigning positions or jobs from the org unit.
  Deleting or modifying any combined org units that include the org unit you want to delete.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes such as PPOME (for Organizational Management) to visualize the structure and relationships of org units. This can help you identify where the dependencies lie.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing organizational units and their dependencies.
  Seek Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to organizational structures, as some actions may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  Related Information:
