This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules where force elements (like contracts, agreements, or other financial elements) are managed.
  Cause:
  
  Status Rejected: The primary cause of this error is that the reference force element you are trying to delimit (i.e., end or modify its validity) has a status of "rejected." This means that the system does not allow any further changes or delimitations to be made to it.
  Data Integrity: The system enforces data integrity rules, and if an element is rejected, it is likely that it has been flagged for a reason (e.g., errors in data entry, compliance issues, etc.).

  Checking for any missing or incorrect data that needs to be corrected.
  Consulting with your team or the person responsible for managing the force elements to understand the context of the rejection.
  
  
  Change the Status: If appropriate, you may need to change the status of the force element from "rejected" to a valid status (like "active" or "approved"). This may require specific authorizations or processes depending on your organization's policies.
  Delimit Again: Once the status has been corrected, you can attempt to delimit the reference force element again.
