  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to delete a pegging area that is still linked to fixed orders. Fixed orders are those that cannot be changed or deleted due to their status or configuration. This could happen in scenarios where:
  
  Fixed Orders Exist: There are still active fixed orders that reference the pegging area you are trying to delete.
  Order Status: The orders may be in a status that prevents them from being modified or deleted.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that deleting a pegging area does not lead to inconsistencies in the planning process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Fixed Orders: Check for any fixed orders that are linked to the pegging area. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/ORDR or /SAPAPO/SDP94 to view the orders and their statuses.

  Releasing the orders if they are in a blocked status.
  Deleting or modifying the orders if they are no longer required.
  
  
  
  Delete or Unlink Orders: If the fixed orders are not needed, you can delete them or unlink them from the pegging area. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or links that might prevent the deletion of the pegging area.
