  The SAP error message MPE_SAS_MSG035 indicates that a specific status (denoted as &1) cannot be deleted because it is still assigned to a schema (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of managing statuses in SAP, particularly in modules related to logistics or project management.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a status that is currently in use or linked to a schema. In SAP, statuses are often used to control the flow of processes, and if a status is still assigned to a schema, it cannot be removed to maintain data integrity and prevent inconsistencies in the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Schema: Determine which schema (&2) the status (&1) is currently assigned to. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the relevant module.
  
  
  Remove the Assignment: 
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings where the status is assigned to the schema.
  Remove the assignment of the status from the schema. This may involve going to the relevant transaction codes or configuration paths in SAP.
  Ensure that the status is not being used in any active processes or transactions.
  
  
  
  Delete the Status: Once the status is no longer assigned to any schema, you should be able to delete it without encountering the error.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Before deleting, ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the status in other configurations or processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
