This error indicates that there is a dominant record (such as a time entry, absence, or other personnel-related data) that cannot be deleted due to its significance or dependencies in the system.

  Dominant Record: The record you are trying to delete is marked as dominant, meaning it has a higher priority or is linked to other records that prevent its deletion.
  Dependencies: There may be other records or transactions that depend on the record you are trying to delete. For example, if the record is linked to payroll processing, absence management, or other time-related functionalities, it cannot be removed without addressing these dependencies.

  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependent records or transactions that are linked to the dominant record. You may need to delete or modify these dependent records first.
  Review the Record: Look at the details of the record you are trying to delete. Ensure that it is not required for any ongoing processes, such as payroll or reporting.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling dominant records in your version of SAP.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the record. If not, contact your SAP administrator to obtain the required permissions.
