  Cause:
  
  Open Items: The paying company code has open items (e.g., invoices, payments) that have not been cleared or settled.
  Available Amounts: There are still available amounts linked to the company code, which means that it cannot be deleted or modified until these amounts are resolved.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Open Items:

  System Configuration:
  
  If the company code is still needed for reporting or other purposes, consider whether it should be marked as inactive instead of being deleted.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code OX19:
