This error indicates that there is an active model in the system that is preventing the operation you are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Active Model: The primary cause of this error is that there is an active planning model in the system. This means that the model is currently being used for planning activities, and SAP does not allow modifications or deletions while the model is active.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a model is active, it is locked for changes to prevent inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Models:
  
  Use transaction code /SAPAPO/MVM to view the active models in the system.
  Identify the model that is currently active and causing the issue.

  You can deactivate the model using the same transaction code /SAPAPO/MVM by selecting the model and choosing the option to deactivate it.
  
  
  
  Ensure No Processes are Using the Model:
  
  Make sure that no planning processes, such as heuristics or optimization runs, are currently using the model. If they are, you may need to wait for them to complete or terminate them if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the model in other planning areas or processes that might prevent deactivation.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deactivating a model, consult the SAP documentation or your system administrator for guidance.
