FI649 - Details

• The SAP error message FI649 indicates that a Financial Management (FM) area cannot be deleted because it is currently assigned to a company code. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete a Funds Management area that is still linked to a company code in the system.
  
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the FM area you are trying to delete is still associated with one or more company codes.

  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or use the relevant path in your SAP GUI) to check the assignment of the FM area to the company code.
