Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The function module may be called by other programs, function modules, or function groups, which prevents its deletion.
  Transport Requests: The function module might be included in a transport request that is currently being processed or has not been released.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the function module may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
