This error indicates that the material you are attempting to modify or delete is still linked to other groups, which prevents the operation from being completed.
  Cause:
  
  Material Assignment: The material is assigned to multiple planning groups, and the system does not allow deletion or modification if it is still linked to any group.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Remove from Other Groups:
  
  If you intend to delete or modify the material, you must first remove it from all other planning groups where it is assigned.
  Use the appropriate transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/MAT1 for changing material assignments) to remove the material from the other groups.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Operation:
  
  Once the material is no longer assigned to any other groups, you can re-attempt the operation that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of removing a material from a planning group, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to a SAP APO expert.
