  The SAP error message S_LRM_UI047 indicates that you are attempting to delete a live policy in the system. Live policies are active and in use, and therefore, they cannot be deleted directly. This is a safeguard to prevent accidental loss of important data or configurations.
  Cause:

  Check Policy Status: Verify the status of the policy you are trying to delete. Ensure that it is not currently in use or active.

  Delete After Deactivation: Once the policy is deactivated, you should be able to delete it without encountering the error.
  
  
  Review Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or linked processes that require the policy to remain active. If there are, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the steps or implications of deactivating a policy, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
