This is a common issue when working with equations in SAP, particularly in the context of the SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module or similar applications.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the equation you are attempting to delete is referenced in existing calculations or processes. SAP prevents the deletion to maintain data integrity and ensure that calculations relying on that equation do not break.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check which calculations are using the equation. The error message should list the specific calculations that reference the equation. You may need to navigate to the relevant transaction or report to see the details.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  Before you can delete the equation, you need to remove it from all calculations that are using it. This may involve editing the calculations to either remove the equation or replace it with another one.
  
  
  
  Delete the Equation:
  
  Once you have ensured that the equation is no longer referenced in any calculations, you can proceed to delete it.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After deletion, it’s a good practice to test the calculations that previously used the equation to ensure they still function correctly without it.
