  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no active transactions or locks on the data you are trying to delete. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  Review Business Rules: Consult with your business process owner or SAP administrator to understand the business rules that govern data deletion. They may provide guidance on whether it is possible to override this restriction.
  Use Alternative Methods: If you need to remove or correct data, consider using alternative methods such as marking the data as inactive or using a correction process instead of outright deletion.
