This typically occurs in the context of managing collateral objects within the SAP system, particularly in the SAP Credit Management or SAP Loan Management modules.
  Cause:

  Identify the active change request that is preventing the collateral object from being set to inactive.
  
  
  
  Complete or Reject the Change Request:
  
  If the change request is no longer needed, you can reject it.
  If the change request is still valid, you may need to complete it. This could involve finalizing the changes and then releasing the request.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the Collateral Object:
  
  Once the change request is either completed or rejected, you should be able to set the collateral object to inactive without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
