  The SAP error message MDC_MODEL075 indicates that a deletion operation is not allowed for a specific model or one of its child elements. This typically occurs in the context of SAP S/4HANA or SAP BW when dealing with master data or models in the context of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA).
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Dependencies: The model or object you are trying to delete has dependencies or relationships with other objects. For example, if the model is being used in reports, queries, or other data models, it cannot be deleted until those dependencies are resolved.
  
  
  Active Usage: The model or its children might be actively used in transactions or processes, making it unavailable for deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the model or its children.
  
  
  System Settings: Certain system settings or configurations may prevent the deletion of specific models or data structures.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MDC_MODEL075 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the model or its children are being referenced elsewhere. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for dependencies.
  
  
  Remove References: If there are dependencies, you will need to remove or update those references before attempting to delete the model again.
  
  
  Check Active Usage: Ensure that the model is not being used in any active processes. If it is, you may need to wait until those processes are completed or terminated.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure you have the right permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific model you are trying to delete. There may be specific guidelines or restrictions outlined.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like MDC_MONITOR to monitor the model and its usage, which can provide insights into why the deletion is not allowed.
