  The SAP error message /FTI/BO_STRUCT_DEL018 CHK8: The Org-Unit has following children typically occurs in the context of organizational unit management within SAP, particularly when trying to delete or modify an organizational unit that has dependent child units or related entities.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the organizational unit you are trying to delete or modify has child organizational units or related entities that are still linked to it. SAP does not allow the deletion of an organizational unit if it has children, as this could lead to data integrity issues.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Child Units: Check which child organizational units are linked to the parent unit you are trying to delete. You can do this by navigating to the organizational structure in SAP and reviewing the hierarchy.
  
  
  Delete or Reassign Child Units: 
  
  If you want to delete the parent organizational unit, you will first need to delete or reassign all child units. 
  If the child units are no longer needed, you can delete them. If they are still required, consider reassigning them to a different parent organizational unit.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the organizational unit in other areas of the system, such as roles, positions, or other organizational structures.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like PPOME (for Organizational Management) to visualize and manage the organizational structure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or modifying organizational units, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
