This error typically arises when you attempt to delete an asset class that is still in use, meaning that there are assets linked to it in the system.

  To delete an asset, you can use transaction code ABAVN (Transfer within Company Code) or AB08 (Unplanned Depreciation) to remove the asset from the system.
  
  
  
  Check for Depreciation Areas:
  
  Ensure that there are no depreciation areas or other configurations that are still using the asset class.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
