This error indicates that there is an issue with deleting compressed calculation triggers that are currently in process. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Active Processes: The error usually arises when there are active processes or jobs that are currently using or referencing the calculation triggers that you are trying to delete. This can happen if a data load or a calculation is still in progress.
  Locks: There may be locks on the objects that prevent the deletion of the calculation triggers.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Processes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for any active jobs that might be using the calculation triggers. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to complete or terminate them if they are stuck.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant objects. If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can release them. Be cautious when doing this, as it may affect other users or processes.
  
  
  
  System Monitoring:
  
  Monitor system performance and ensure that there are no bottlenecks. You can use transaction ST22 (Dump Analysis) and SM21 (System Log) to check for any related issues.
