This typically occurs in the context of managing document revisions in SAP, particularly in the area of financial accounting or document management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Document Revisions: In SAP, documents can have multiple revisions. Each revision is a version of the document that may have been modified or updated.
  Last Revision Requirement: The system does not allow the deletion of a revision unless it is the last one. This is to maintain the integrity of the document history and ensure that earlier revisions are not lost if they are still referenced or needed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Revisions:

  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which revisions can be deleted or if there are dependencies on the document, consult with your team or a supervisor to ensure that you are not removing important information.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transactions:
