This error indicates that there is an issue with trying to delete a DP chain associated with a specific item.
  Cause:
  
  Active Planning Objects: The DP chain you are trying to delete may still be in use or linked to active planning objects, such as forecasts or other planning data.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or relationships with other planning objects that prevent the deletion of the DP chain.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the DP chain.

  Check Active Planning Objects: Ensure that there are no active planning objects (like forecasts) associated with the DP chain. If there are, you may need to delete or deactivate them first.
