  Check for Open Deliveries: Ensure that there are no open deliveries or outstanding quantities that are linked to the scheduling agreements. If there are, you may need to fulfill or cancel them.
  Consult with Business Users: Engage with the relevant business users or departments to understand the necessity of the active agreements and whether they can be modified or closed.
