  The SAP error message FMEUF072 indicates that you are trying to delete phases that are currently being used in certification run parameters. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) or similar modules where phases are defined for various processes, such as contract management or project management.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system has integrity checks in place to prevent the deletion of phases that are actively referenced in certification runs or other processes. This is a safeguard to ensure that data integrity is maintained and that there are no orphaned references in the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage: Determine where the phases are being used. You can do this by checking the certification run parameters or any related configurations that reference the phases you are trying to delete.
  
  
  Remove References: Before you can delete the phases, you need to remove any references to them in the certification run parameters. This may involve:
  
  Editing the certification run parameters to exclude the phases.
  Deleting or modifying any related entries that reference the phases.
  
  
  
  Delete Phases: Once you have ensured that there are no references to the phases in the certification run parameters, you can proceed to delete the phases.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: It’s also a good idea to check if there are other dependencies or references to the phases in other parts of the system that might prevent deletion.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or the implications of deleting certain phases, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use specific transaction codes to manage phases and certification runs, such as RECN for contract management or REIS for investment management.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to certification run parameters and delete phases.
  Backup: Always consider backing up your configuration or data before making significant changes to avoid data loss.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
