  Check Item Status: Verify that the item you are trying to delete is in a status that allows deletion. Some items may be locked or in a state that prevents deletion.
  Use the Correct Function: Make sure you are using the correct function or button to delete the item. In many cases, this is done through a delete button or menu option.
  Permissions: If you suspect that permissions might be an issue, contact your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary rights to delete items in the transaction.
