This typically occurs in the context of managing fees in the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, particularly in the Project System (PS) module.

For example, they might be linked to ongoing projects, have associated transactions, or be in a status that does not allow for obsolescence.

  Check Fee Status: Look into the status of each fee. If any fees are currently active or have associated transactions, you may need to resolve those issues before marking them as obsolete.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to fee management in CRM to understand the specific conditions under which fees can be marked as obsolete.
