  The SAP error message EWA745 indicates that you are trying to delete an order or an item within an order, but the operation cannot be completed due to the current status of that order or item. This typically occurs when the order or item is in a status that does not allow for deletion, such as being completed, delivered, or invoiced.
  Cause:
  
  Order Status: The order or item may be in a status that prohibits deletion. For example, if the order has been fully delivered or invoiced, it cannot be deleted.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Order Status: Review the status of the order or item. You can do this by navigating to the order in the SAP system and checking its current status. If it is in a completed or delivered state, you may need to reverse those actions before deletion.
  
  
  Reverse Transactions: If the order has been delivered or invoiced, you may need to reverse those transactions first. For example, you can create a return delivery or cancel the invoice, depending on the situation.
  
  
  Change Status: If applicable, change the status of the order or item to a state that allows deletion. This may involve changing the order type or using specific transaction codes to modify the status.
