  Causes:
  
  No Equipment Assigned: The equipment you are trying to remove may not be assigned to any maintenance plans, work orders, or other relevant objects in the system.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to identify equipment for removal may not match any existing records.
  Status of Equipment: The equipment may be in a status that does not allow for removal (e.g., it may be locked or in use).

  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the removal has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
