  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate the table mentioned in the error message to see if there are any dependencies or related entries that need to be addressed before deletion. You may need to delete or update related records first.

  Consult Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that may provide additional context about the failure.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like BP (Business Partner) to manage business partner data and check for any inconsistencies.
