  Go to the CTM profile configuration in SAP APO.
  Locate the CTM profile that is using the order selection.

  Delete the Order Selection: Once the order selection is no longer referenced in any CTM profile, you can proceed to delete it.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the order selection in other configurations or processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
