  Reverse or Delete Transactions: If there are posted transactions, you may need to reverse or delete them first. This can be done using the appropriate transaction codes (e.g., FB08 for reversing financial documents).
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about reversing transactions, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to ensure that you are not violating any accounting principles or regulations.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you need to delete the equity group after ensuring there are no postings, you can use transaction code GJ01 to delete the equity group, provided it is allowed.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if there are any restrictions on deleting equity groups.
