  Batch Status: The batch you are trying to modify is closed or not in an open status. In SAP, batches must be open to allow for modifications, including the removal of payment items.

  Check Batch Status: Verify the status of the batch you are working with. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code FBL1N for vendor line items) and checking the batch status.
  
  If the batch is closed, you may need to reopen it if your business process allows for that.
