This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly in the context of planning books and key figures.
  Cause:
  
  User Exit Macros: The error arises because the key figures you are trying to manipulate or delete are linked to user exit macros in the planning books. User exit macros are custom scripts that can be executed during planning book operations, and they may depend on specific key figures.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the User Exit Macros:
  
  Check which planning books are using the key figures in question. You can do this by reviewing the configuration of the planning books and identifying any associated macros.
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/FCS_ADMIN to access the planning book configuration and see the macros linked to the key figures.
  
  
  
  Modify or Remove Macros:
  
  If the macros are not needed, consider removing or modifying them to eliminate the dependency on the key figures.
  If the macros are essential, you may need to adjust the logic within the macros to accommodate changes to the key figures.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to user exit macros and planning books to understand the implications of modifying or removing them.
  
  
  
  Testing:
