  Cause:
  
  Active Usage: The setting you are trying to delete is actively being used in a planning book, or it is linked to other objects that are currently in use.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or references to the object in other configurations or processes that prevent deletion.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP has a locking mechanism to prevent changes to objects that are currently being processed or accessed by users or background jobs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Usage: Check where the setting is being used. You can do this by:
  
  Reviewing the planning books and key figures to see if they reference the object.
  Using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for planning books) or /SAPAPO/PKF (for key figures) to find dependencies.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If you find that the object is being used in a planning book or other settings, you will need to:

  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no active locks on the object. You can check for locks using transaction code SM12 to see if any user sessions are holding locks on the object.
  
  
  Wait for Processes to Complete: If the object is being used in a background job or process, you may need to wait for that process to complete before attempting to delete or modify the object.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or APO team for specific guidelines related to the object you are trying to delete.
  
  
  Related Information:
