  The SAP error message DFS_FE_COMMON032 indicates that a delete operation is not allowed because a subordinate unit (in this case, represented by the placeholder '&') is in a rejected status. This typically occurs in the context of managing organizational units, such as in SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules where hierarchical structures are involved.
  Cause:
  
  Subordinate Unit Status: The subordinate unit that you are trying to delete has a status of "rejected." This means that the unit is not in a state that allows for deletion. The rejected status could be due to various reasons, such as pending approvals, incomplete processes, or errors in previous transactions.

  If the unit is indeed in a rejected status, you will need to address the reason for this status.
  
  
  
  Resolve Rejected Status:

  Retry Deletion:
