  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_BOLUI050 indicates that you are trying to delete a company code associated with a supplier, but the operation cannot be completed because there is active data linked to that company code. This is a common issue in Master Data Governance (MDG) for suppliers when there are existing transactions or records that prevent the deletion.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the company code you are attempting to delete has active data associated with it. This could include:
  
  Open purchase orders
  Open invoices
  Active contracts
  Any other transactional data that references the supplier and the specific company code
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that there is no active data associated with the company code you are trying to delete. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check for Active Data:
  
  Review the supplier's transactions in the relevant modules (e.g., MM, FI) to identify any open documents related to the company code.
  Use transaction codes like ME2N (for purchase orders) or FB03 (for invoices) to check for any active records.
  
  
  
  Close or Delete Active Transactions:
  
  If you find any open purchase orders, invoices, or contracts, you will need to either close them or delete them if they are no longer needed.
  Ensure that all necessary approvals and processes are followed when closing or deleting transactions.
  
  
  
  Data Archiving:
  
  If the data is historical and needs to be retained for compliance or reporting purposes, consider archiving the data instead of deleting it.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  Once you have confirmed that there are no active transactions linked to the company code, you can attempt to delete the company code again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
