  Cause:
  
  Active References: The service binding is actively referenced by one or more consumers, such as Fiori applications, OData services, or other service bindings.
  In-Use Dependencies: There may be dependencies in the system that prevent the service from being modified or deleted.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, other developers or processes might be using the service.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependencies:
  
  Check for any active references to the service binding. You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to find where the service is being used.
