This error indicates that the system is preventing the deletion of a document because there are related documents that depend on it.
  Cause:

  Use transaction codes like ME23N (for purchase orders) or CO03 (for production orders) to check if there are any follow-on documents linked to the document you are trying to delete.

  Review Authorizations:
