  Solution:
  
  Check Order Status: Review the status of the order to ensure it is in a state that allows for cancellation. If the order is already in production, you may need to complete or close it instead.
  Release Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or linked orders that are preventing the cancellation. You may need to address these first.
  Remove Design Allocation: If possible, remove the design allocation from the order. This may involve changing the order or reassigning the design to another order.
