  Check Cross-References: Review the cross-references associated with the DOI. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report that displays the DOI and its related Xrefs.
  Unlink or Approve Related Xrefs: If the cross-references are no longer needed, consider unlinking them or changing their status to unapproved. Ensure that this action does not violate any business rules or data integrity requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for specific procedures on managing DOIs and their cross-references.
  Contact Support: If you are unsure about the implications of unapproving the DOI or modifying cross-references, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
