  The SAP error message RELMLR053 indicates that a partner (identified by &1) is still being used in a specific role (identified by &2) in a particular object (identified by &3). This error typically arises when you attempt to delete or modify a partner function that is still actively linked to a business object, such as a customer, vendor, or other master data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the partner function you are trying to delete or modify is still assigned to a business object. This means that the system is preventing you from making changes that could lead to inconsistencies in the data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Usage: 
  
  Check where the partner function is being used. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report to list all instances where the partner is assigned.
  
  
  
  Remove or Change the Assignment:
  
  If you need to delete or modify the partner function, you must first remove it from all relevant business objects. This may involve:
  
  Going to the transaction where the partner is assigned (e.g., customer master data, vendor master data).
  Editing the partner assignments and removing the partner from the specified role.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the partner in other roles or objects. Sometimes, partners can be linked in multiple places, so a thorough check is necessary.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  Once you have removed the partner from all relevant roles and objects, you can re-attempt the action that triggered the error.
