This error indicates that the system has created a funds reservation for the transaction, and as a result, the deletion of the associated document is not allowed.

  Check Funds Reservations: Before attempting to delete the document, check if there are any existing funds reservations associated with it. You can do this by reviewing the document in the Funds Management module.

  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like FMAVCR01 (for checking commitments) or FMAVCR02 (for checking reservations) to analyze the status of funds reservations.
