  The SAP error message DPR_PHASE025 indicates that you are trying to delete a phase in a project that is linked to Portfolio Management (PM) elements. This error occurs because the phase you are attempting to delete is still associated with one or more Portfolio Management links, and SAP does not allow the deletion of such phases to maintain data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Active Links: The phase you are trying to delete has active links to Portfolio Management elements, such as projects, portfolios, or other related objects.

  Identify Links: Check which Portfolio Management links are associated with the phase you want to delete. You can do this by navigating to the project or phase details in the SAP system and reviewing the linked elements.
  
  
  Remove Links: Once you have identified the links, you will need to remove or unlink them from the phase. This may involve:
  
  Editing the project or phase to remove the association with the Portfolio Management elements.
  Deleting or modifying the linked projects or portfolios if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion: After successfully removing all links, you can attempt to delete the phase again.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the phase in other parts of the project or system that might prevent deletion.
