This error indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of a PRT from a specific operation in a production order.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:

  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  
  
  System Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review any settings that might be preventing the deletion of PRTs. They may need to adjust the configuration if it is too restrictive.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to check the details of the operation and PRT assignment.
