  Cause:
  
  Cumulated Rebate Volume: The primary reason for this error is that there are existing rebate volumes that have been accumulated against the rebate agreement. This means that the system has recorded some rebate amounts that are tied to the agreement, preventing its deletion.

  Delete Related Transactions: If applicable, delete or reverse any transactions that are linked to the rebate agreement that may be causing the cumulated volume.
