  The error occurs because the display group you are attempting to delete is linked to an elimination method. In SAP, elimination methods are used to handle intercompany transactions and ensure that they are properly accounted for in financial reports.

  Identify the Elimination Method: Determine which elimination method the display group is assigned to. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the relevant module (e.g., SAP BPC or SAP FC).
  
  
  Remove the Assignment:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the elimination method.
  Locate the display group that you want to delete.
  Remove the assignment of the display group from the elimination method.
  
  
  
  Delete the Display Group: Once the assignment has been removed, you should be able to delete the display group without encountering the error.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or assignments related to the display group that might prevent its deletion.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP version, you may use transaction codes like OB58 (for elimination methods) or OB52 (for display groups) to access the relevant configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's internal documentation for specific instructions on managing display groups and elimination methods.
  Testing: After making changes, it is advisable to test the financial reports or processes that utilize the display group to ensure that everything functions correctly.
