  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM_PROF010 indicates that a deletion of a profile is not possible because the profile is still being used in the CTM (Capable-to-Match) profile. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you attempt to delete a planning profile that is currently assigned to a CTM profile.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Usage: The profile you are trying to delete is actively being referenced in one or more CTM profiles. This means that the system is preventing the deletion to maintain data integrity and avoid breaking any existing configurations.
  Dependencies: There may be other dependencies or configurations that rely on the profile, which also prevents its deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Usage:
  
  Check which CTM profiles are using the profile you want to delete. You can do this by navigating to the CTM profile configuration in SAP APO and reviewing the assigned profiles.
  
  
  
  Remove Profile from CTM:
  
  Once you identify the CTM profiles that are using the profile, you need to remove the profile from those CTM profiles. This can typically be done in the CTM profile configuration screen.
  Go to the CTM profile settings and edit the profile to remove the reference to the profile you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Delete the Profile:
  
  After ensuring that the profile is no longer in use, you can attempt to delete the profile again. This should now be successful.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  If you still encounter issues, check for any other dependencies or configurations that might be referencing the profile. This could include other planning areas, settings, or profiles.
