  The SAP error message PAK025 indicates that there is an issue with the use of an access method in sub-packages within the context of a package hierarchy. This typically occurs when you are trying to delete or modify a package that still has dependencies on access methods or other objects in its sub-packages.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to delete or modify a package that contains access methods that are still being referenced in sub-packages.

  Solution:
  To resolve the PAK025 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for any access methods that are still being used in the sub-packages.
  You can also use transaction SE37 (Function Module) to check if any function modules or methods are referencing the access method.

  Check Package Hierarchy:
  
  Review the package hierarchy to ensure that there are no other dependencies that might be causing the issue.
  You can use transaction SE21 (Package Builder) to view the package structure and dependencies.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  Once all dependencies have been resolved, you can re-attempt to delete or modify the package.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
