This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Active Model Constraints: The product or location may be linked to other active models or processes that prevent deassignment.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data records that are preventing the deassignment.
