  The SAP error message CRM_BUPA_FRG0030250 indicates that there is an issue with attempting to delete billing data associated with a reference business partner in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This error typically arises when there are dependencies or constraints preventing the deletion of the billing data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Existing Dependencies: The billing data you are trying to delete may be linked to other transactions or records in the system.
