  Cause:
  
  
  Existing Dependencies: The supplier may have existing dependencies or relationships with other business objects, such as purchase orders, contracts, or material master records. If there are active transactions or references to the supplier, the system will prevent deletion to maintain data integrity.

  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the supplier, check for any existing dependencies. This can include:
  
  Open purchase orders

  You can use transaction codes like ME2N (Purchase Orders by Supplier) or ME3L (Outline Agreements by Supplier) to find related documents.
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If you find any dependencies, you will need to either complete, close, or delete those transactions before you can delete the supplier.
  
  
  Use the Correct Deletion Method: If the supplier is no longer needed, consider marking it as inactive instead of deleting it. This can often be done in the business partner or supplier master data.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the supplier. If not, contact your SAP administrator to obtain the required permissions.
